archived-videos Listen : Story of a man who just want others to listen.

[Reghu]

Listen is a short that I directed.

It is a story of a man who just want others to listen to what he has to say.
What does he has to say to us?

Please watch the short film and comment on it.
All comments are welcome good or bad.

This being my first short film, I am looking forward for some good harsh criticism.

Well, you've got some good positives to work with. Overrall, I think your shot selection was rather nice. My main problem is with the narrative. It's slightly confusing. When I lose my keys, the beach isn't exactly the first place I look. Also, I think this short relies way too heavily on narration. For your next short, I would focus more on showing, not telling.

Nice work, and best of luck.

Thanks Cracker Funk for the comment and advice
I did rely a lot on narration for this film as I wanted everybody to know what he was thinking.

I have already started working on a no dialogue short film. As you said this is more on showing and less telling.

The only thing I saw he had to say was. He's going to kill himself and wont stop til he does.??.....The sound wasn't that good. I realize everything was voice over or dubbed but it was distracting. The beginning was very nice but it went down hill from there. I agree with Cracker, don't rely so much on narration. SHow it to us. Make us feel it.

I didn't mind the narration/VO at all. (I also liked the VO version of Blade Runner, so whatever )

The subtitles were very distracting, though. English audio with English subtitles?

I've noticed that video from your part of the world looks very washed out & faded, btw. Why is that? There's a similar look in a recent Indian flick here somewhere; the one where water is banned. Very faded.

I need to get the set of Bladerunner with all the versions. I only have the directors cut(no VO).

You're right about the washed out color.
