Opening improvements

I feel as though my short film could be improved in a few areas such as camera angles and editing. I would have used a wider range of camera angles when filming the kick sequence in order to be able to jump to more shorts while editing to make it more dramatic. I would have also added an element of self-awareness through the dialogue to ensure the opening did not take itself seriously. 

  I would also change the mugger’s hoodie to black in order to make the mugger seem more serious.

Additionally I would add in more dialogue with the victim in order to give a greater sense of her character and in order to make her far more relatable to the audience. This would also enable more of a chance for dialogue driven comedy in order to contrast with the suspenseful tone at the beginning.  I would also add more dialogue to the phone call to indicate how she would interact with others.

I would also instruct the muggers character to act in a highly over dramatic manner that would be somewhat referential to physical comedy as he would get knocked down in order to make the scene more light-hearted.
