Plagiarism - a short film

Hello everyone,

We have had a school project, where we were given the assignment to create a short film on the topic plagiarism.

We have a little competition in class, on who can get the most views on youtube. Therefore, I would be more than happy, if you would help ud get some views on our video. So please watch this, and if you will share it with your friends, we will be very greatful.

Here's the link:

Thank you!

I only managed to get to 1:20..

Too slow paced for me... Long shots and very static... Nothing really going on to keep me interested...

Thank you for feedback. We will remember that for our next video

I stuck with it. It would have been a whole lot better half as long. I got the impression the brief was to create a video X minutes long and you dragged out the idea to fill the time rather than edited to the pace of the clips.

I didn't like the first to second to third shot and think they would have worked better 1st to 3rd to 2nd.

Why did the horse guy put down the bat?

Why was there someone hiding behind the vending machine?

Why are you using a film style that went out with the Monkees and Benny Hill?

It didn't really work for me as a message I'm afraid. "Don't rip off other peoples work because some strange guy with a horses head is going to chase you in the style of Benny Hill?" Not really a very powerful argument is it?

Thanks for reply

To take your post from behind: Nope, definitely not a good argument, but it was more to just make it fun

Alright, you spotted it, the one hiding behind the vending machine, definitely a mistake, unfortunately, we didn't have time to retake the scene(I noticed when editing at home).

He couldn't run up the stairs, because the horse-mask completely blocked his sight.

You might be right on the order there.

At last, I would tell, that we are always trying to get better, and criticism is the best way of doing so. Shooting film is an entirely new genre to me, but I definitely want to get better.

Thanks again
