The dark lighting within this film was very good and contributed to the overall mood and theme. Additionally, the melancholy sound made the film seem drastic and scary causing the viewers to connect with the story being portrayed. Despite, the sound and lighting being good the editing, cut-aways, and transitions could be better. For instance, throughout the film some scenes seemed a little fuzzy and glitchy, causing viewers to not always know what's going on. Also the transitions were not smooth and were distracting the audience from the overall story.

6. Use the technical evaluation information from below to analyze and evaluate the following technical aspects:
The lighting was nothing above average but it did stay stable throughout the film which was a positive. The sound was clear but I wish the producers would've added some music or sound effects to make the film seem more interesting. Additionally, there were no transitions or cut-aways in any scenes. The video was just focused on two boys the whole time causing the film to become boring for the audience. Despite, there not being amazing transitions the editing was good cause it would zoom in and zoom out creating a clean look.
