Let me tell you what's good and bad about this movie.


I think the way it is picturised if very good. The scene and settings are fine. Acting is fine too.


But let me point towards negative about this video . I am just telling you because we learn more from our mistakes then our success.


1. I believe movie is slightly fast paced for a horror movie.  I does not bring that much fear to the viewer (or it could be just me).  Horror  movie should be slow . 50% of the success of horror movie is its background sound. Slow pace with background sound can create magic. Viewers are always guessing what will happen next.  of course you need fast pace at some instance. But it should mostly be slow


2. Camera movement is another problem. If you watch video camera is not still at some instance.  of course you need to follow the movement of the protagonist...but it should be stable like it should not  move up and down rahter it should follow the motion of the actor. Infact in 59 second,   you could actually see the car from which video is shot.  You can see it at the bottom of your screen.


3. Honestly ghost is not scary at all. It seems like you made ghost in preproduction and attached something to his face. It would have been better if you don't put mask. But make it as a ghost in post production by the use of software. Using software you can actually change the face of the person

4. There was one major continuity error. The protagonist take his Hair band in 3 minute 3 seconds. You could see his hair is not tied at 4 minute 29second. The protagonist runs when he sees the ghost..........at next scene in 4 minute 33 second his hair is nicely tied with hair band back.
