 Story/Script:

• Story was confusing from the start

• Script was quite wild according to 1950’s

Director’s Perspective:
• Even the Short movie was stretched in
some scenes

• Timelapse wasn’t shown properly

Acting:

Everyone was a veteran actor with good facial expressions.

Music and Sound:

Background music was missing in many areas like the sword fight.

Editing:

According to the time, it was quite a good edit but still the same problem of
many scenes being stretched cause a boring reaction.
 Concluding Remark

➢ It would have been better if the starting was much clear rather than creating the
confusion
➢ Some blood shed was deemed necessary to show actual violence.

➢ It would have been better to show how the dead spirit was evoked.

➢ The ending 8 mins was good, as it showed even in the darkest days one can find the
light.
