Thanks for watching.

I liked the cinematography. I feel like the dimness helped the video a lot.

What I didn't like, was the acting. I felt as if there should have been more fear shown when the ghost was on the camera or the black figure in the background. It just didn't seem as believable.

Loved the location, wish I had access to an abandoned warehouse like that.

Thanks for sharing all the info.

I thought it was nicely shot, the sound/dialogue volume level seemed a bit loud to me. The music was good. The music created suspense but IMHO there wasn't anything to be suspenseful about, it didn't seem to go anywhere, why would they be afraid, they are just visiting an old warehouse, there's nothing weird about that.

I did like the way that we went into his dream and you didn't even notice that until you came back out of it at the point in the conversation but I felt the way you cut out of it was a bit harsh a didn't blend well.

Again, this is just my opinion though. I would have liked a smoother transition out of the dream e.g we followed the dream until we got to that point again in the conversation.
