[whatupkaohsiung]

My submission to the 48 hour film project - Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Synopsis: An up and coming reporter uses a romantic encounter with a heart surgeon to get the inside track on an organ transplant feature he's working on. The heart surgeon finds out the truth, and works with her friend to get revenge. The reporter soon finds that revenge is a dish best served....grilled! a dark comedy short film from "What Up, Kaohsiung?"

Don't you love the 48HFP? So much fun. Good job getting this movie done, in such a short period of time.

My constructive critique? To be honest, I feel like you kinda just skipped over the basics of filmmaking, opting to instead just grab a camera and start shooting. Instincts can go a long way, but this movie falls short in that it doesn't flow very well. It feels like it's been "Sweded".

In my opinion, the first place to start is in camera work. Photography 101. Then, start learning how to shoot a scene that will cut together well.

Anyway, keep it up, and best wishes!

totally agree with your critique, I know that I don't know Jack about photography....and now that I'm no longer burdened with a job, I plan on pouring a lot more energy into the craft.
