Thanks Knightly,
There is some good advice there. I hadn't thought about using the volume of ambient sound in place of music to emphasise mood. I'll definitely remember that one.
Thanks again.

Thanks for the comments.
The shots were done on a Sunday to minimise ambient noise but unfortunately the traffic was still a problem in places. I have a stabiliser but some of the shots were intentionally made handheld to give it an edgy feel. Especially the closeups. You are right the shot...
The trap is set, the victim chosen ... but will they take the bait?

This is our fifth film. It was done as an exercise to generate suspense.
I appreciate any comments.

Yes the above version is the edited version.
There were no new shots I just cut some of the scenes a bit shorter at the start and exaggerated the speed a little.
Admitedly
However that being said the irony of the film was lost on others in another forum so I'm thinking of adding something to...
Thanks guys. It probably still needs some tweaking on the timing.
I came up with the idea to do something about road rage a few years ago. I'm originally from Toronto myself and brought my car with me across the pond (it was the Honda in the film). The cars over here do not have any messages...
Thanks for the advice. I've cut the actions scenes a little tighter and sped them up a bit to give a greater contrast between the slow and fast parts. I had added in already false camera motion for some of the scenes which were a bit too quiet but I exaggerated this some more.
I hope it is...

Thanks guys for the comments and advice.
It was tough in the one minute version to put in the two scenes with the lady so I didn't have more footage when I loosened the time constraint in this version. Perhaps I could have used a split screen to include more. Anyways something to keep in...
The end of a releationship is often messy. It is a time to make a clean sweep of things.
This is our third film. It was originally made for a one minute film festival which it will appear in this August in Aarau Switzerland. This is a slightly longer version of the original.
All involved...
