Last Year's Model

This is what you can do at our level...

As recommended by Megan, here's one of last year's films.


I particularly like the use of music, which really fits well -something that's really hard to do at student level, and the nightmarish way that the perspective keeps shifting; just who is the voyeur? Is it the Claudia? Stuart? The silhouetted man? Or is it each of us that watches it?

If the film has a weakness, it's that the sound on the crucial dialogue is of very poor quality, and that that whole section, when Claudia breaches the fourth wall, is completely out of the blue. They've clearly not heard of foreshadowing -- that, or they felt that it wasn't needed.

And on a lighter note, I recognized that archway through which Stuart ran...we were filming there ourselves ten days ago!
