This is an intriguing film, because of the polarising effect that it has on its audience. Personally I Love the use of the Long take, because it allows the audience to get a much greater immersive connection with whatever is happening on screen. These shots have the potential to create some of the most memorable scenes within cinema, however within this film, it is over exerted beyond the realms of tolerability .
On the other hand, It made the film long winded and somewhat boring, this impression is the shattered by the climax of the film, however it is somewhat of a struggle to get to the end of the film. Perhaps this is just my ignorance, perhaps it is meant to be a challenging watch - mimicking the struggle of the man who succumbs to am untimely death - derived from an act of desperation. After all, it is undeniable that the body crashing down to the earth came as a surprise - however with my short film, I shall increase the pacing, through the application of long takes with dynamic camera movement and tension delivered through dialogue.
