A 4minute short created as a first year project for my Video Production degree, this version is pretty much the finished article, just thought id upload it and see what anyone else thinks.

p.s apologies for the dark parts, this has been corrected in the final release but youtubes compression makes it look 10x worse.

Scary stuff, lol.
I really liked that - The music worked really well, the girl's acting was impressive, and the baby sound effects worked well enough. The clown freaked me out, but then I have something of a phobia of clowns.
How old are you, can I ask? And what did you film/edit on?

Jesus Christ!
That was probably the scariest thing I've seen in a while.
All of the hairs on my legs stood up, and I got major goose bumps. I hope you got a good grade.
But the baby crying just sounded a little too fake, but just barely.

Im 20.

The film was shot on a university issued Sony PD150 and edited on Final Cut Pro.

I hear you on the baby crying but it was f*** difficult getting realistic stuff.

Yeah, but if I need a baby crying sound effect, I just run up to one and give it candy, then take it away, and then hit the baby on the nose.

Heeey I know that story, it's an old urban legend, except it's supposed to be a midget clown. I liked it a lot though, really nice.

Very well done, music, camera work, all excellent.

The clown would be creepier, IMO, with a clown mask on. I wish I could have seen the clown in the shadows those few times, I did not know anything was there. If I had known, it would have creeped me out more.

But still; wonderful.

We made the film so that you can watch it a second time and notice the clown in the background, as previously mentioned this copy is too dark to make that possible but he is there, i swear!!!
