I am pleased with the range of camera shots and angles, especially the added use of panning (0:27)/tracking (1:10) with the use of a tripod. I am also happy with the way it has been edited together smoothly, there aren't any really rough cuts. I sourced the soundtrack and added a stinger towards the end (1:43-1:59), I'm pleased with how they work together to create tension and suspense when added to the video, it also helps to set the pace. The shots of the feet walking can be linked to the research that I did. For example, the murder scene in "The Witness" and the opening scene of Bill walking in "Kill Bill', we also made a reference to "Animal Kingdom" by having the van with both doors open, deserted. The extreme close up shot was inspired by the similar shots used in "Taxi Driver".
Some of the shots were harder to edit together because we had shot them in a way that was difficult to continue on, in particular the lift scene (1:44-1:55). I tried to make the overall edit look quite dirty but I still feel that there could be more to add to it to make it seem even more dystopian. I think we could have improved certain aspects of the edit by recording more footage as this would have allowed us to make continuity and the flow better. I felt that the ending did leave a cliffhanger and was effective but the reactions of the main character did not seem worried enough when he found the dead girl, this takes away a little from the emotional connection to the audience.
