Negatives:

• ECU of mouth is blurry
• Some shots repeat
• TV should turn on
• Camera is shaky on some shots
• Some shots are slightly out of focus
• Some shots are too long
• SRS looks weird
• Gaps with no footage need to be filled
• Unclear why actor is climbing through window
• Well polished and falls away at the end
• Some colour corrections are needed
• Not complete
