Review on The Holding Pattern

*What does the character do that illuminates his character?
**What does the filmmaker do that illuminates his character?


1. Team: (Les, Sukhdeep, Sheri and Owais)


*Look worried and confused a bit sneaky in the beginning -out of place, nervous.Trying control situation ( loads of dictionaries).

** The filmmaker follows the script.Makes loads of different camera angles, that makes it look more interesting and jump cuts to show the passing of time. Looking down on a character. Quick cuts between shots.
2. Team: ( Ashley, Alex and Alex)

* Character eating a lot-maybe trying to calm his nerves. Cheering himself by dancing with himself. Have a cat for a company.
** The title was very long-represents waiting. ( as Bogdan was waiting)Dancing scene and swiming pool scene are connected.Shows emotions, we hear music. Also flat was made very messy, that made feel more natural and realistic.
3. Team: (Glynn, Holy, Dave)

First short the Bogdan looked like a homeless person. It's not really much can tell about the character from his actions. Filmmaker really done more that what a character did, the audio was very effectively..like than Bogdan taps fingers.

4.Team:( Andy, Emilly, Richard, Sejpall)
*The character looked very shy, almost comically shy..all the slow , sneaky moves, very good acting. Shows loads of blank expressions on his face.
**The filmmaker followed a script but it was change quite strong, like the scene with bathroom and family tree, obviously make character look like his trying to make connections. Also the clock ticking ...and fading. The last scene, that he was in the busy street and than it's complete silence, worked really well, it shows how his mind went blank...all gone, like after the nuke.

Sad my team fall apart and we haven't made it, but few of us tried to make some pictures of locations, that we wanted to use for a film. (MORE AVAILABLE)
