Yes, she did very well.
I've only gotten to see one of the clips and the teaser trailer (rapidshare problems plus proxy problems), but it looks excellent! Your camerawork, as mentioned before, is superb. . . . along with the lighting, and, well, everything!
What camera are you using? (just wondering)

People shouldn't be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.
UPDATE: Alright boyos, the film is one scene away from completion and should be up on here by the end of July. For now, here's our brand new, two and a half minute long trailer. Enjoy and let us know what you think to it asap:

I for one am really looking forward to seeing the completed movie. Have you thought about using the new google video service? It seems like a really good idea but nobody here seems to be using it yet, maybe you could be the first.
https://upload.video.google.com/
It looks like a relatively easy process and I don't think there are an real constraints with size.
Give it a shot and let us know once you've got it up. The good thing about using their service is also that your audience wouldn't be limited to these forums.

Wow, just finished watching it and im really impressed. I have a lot of faith in you guys as film makers. At your age you are doing better work than a lot of adults here, this is definately what you should be doing with your life.
I suppose the first thing that people will probably comment on is your ages, and i'll admit usually I don't like seeing kids playing adults. Not that I think you guys are "kids" just that you are obviously younger than the characters you are playing. But in this case it really doesn't matter at all. I understand your constraints and that you and your friends want to make films NOW and truthfully the age thing doesn't matter because not only are you guys great actors but also great film makers.
In terms of film making your continuity is fantastic, you have lots of variety and originality with your camera angles and you manage to convey particular feels and emotions with the camera angles that you have used for certain scenes. Really really impressive.
So in terms of general film making you guys really excell. In terms of minor details there are a couple of issues which probably don't even need pointing out.
The blood you used didn't look very realistic, kind of looked like tomatoe sauce. In black and white it's really just far too light to pass off as real blood. You should have used an office for the conversation between the cop and his boss and not a classroom, it just looked to class-room-ish. You sort of got rid of partner to to quickly and unexlainedly. The way his partner blamed him for letting the guy get away and then the outburst when he punched him in the stomach just wasn't very convincing.
The movie was a little rushed and quite a few things weren't explained very well, why did the guy pull out all of the victims teeth? (for example)
All these things aside you really did make an excellent movie and I just finished watching it for a second time. Keep em coming coz you guys are really f*cken good at this.

Wow, lol. Thanks alot for taking the time to comment, it was really helpful! You've only noticed a tiny fraction of stuff that doesn't make sense in the film. We came up with most of it while we were shooting and just threw it in. Our next film should be more structured and just a bit better! Lol. Thanks again. Anyone else got any opinions?

The Good:
-The cinematography was excellent.
-Acting was mostly good
-The ending made me shiver (always a good sign)
-Good dialoge (wasn't really blown away with cursing like a lot of movies tend to do)
-Suspensful
-Music matched (for the most part)
The Bad
-The plot could've developed a bit more (as stated), I was slightly confused.
-B&W is a little overused to get a dramatic feel
-The Wardrobe was alright, it was a little too teenagery (if that's a word). For instance, the low pants, sweatshirst, chucks with a suit, not to mention crazy hair. It kinda drew away from the proffesionalism that law enforcement normally have.
-The music was good for the most part but it sometimes just cut or faded really quickly.
Good Job my friend and keep up the good work and hopefully you'll improve for your next film (I don't mean that in a rude way). Hope this helps.
Final Grade: B
