Hi, thank you all for the feedback originally and I have taken it and put it into extensive reshoots

It’s still kinda pretentious but it’s not downright horribly annoying

I did this for a college project so I’m still learning so that explains the amateur production lol

Incase you couldn’t tell it was a huge Homage to Lynch lol

I’d love feedback for future projects and a director’s cut of this (the audio is a little off)

I’ve used a Panasonic hc-x1600 camcorder to record a short film I’ve made and I’ve had a multitude of problems with it but this is the newest and by far the worst

A lot of my has unsupported encoded settings I’m using windows if that helps

A lot of my footage is unusable any help would be appreciated

Edit: I’ve opened it in VLC and it just freezes at the lost footage

I (18m) have just made a short film for my college media class, I had a hard time coming up with an idea, so I made a short film about a writer with writers block and I made the mistake of making it an homage to Lynch, this is my first ACTUAL short film I wrote directed and acted in and it’s awful

Not only did I forget to include important shots my script was terrible, pretentious and void of any actual meaning and I have truly disappointed myself as I sunk my own (limited) funds into this and I’ve not seen a more genuinely terrible piece of trash in my life, should I just admit it’s not for me and look for a trade?

I’ve learned a lot from the experience of making it but it was truly that terrible that I’m not sure its worth continuing

It was stressful handling my actors I used my friends because I’m poor and I agreed to be in theirs, it took 3 weeks to actually film from my original filming date for a multitude of reasons and I have had a hard time sleeping since I shot it

It was not fun to make, I keep coming up with ideas but it’s just filling a trash pit with more trash what won’t hide the truth that it is just a bad film what I didn’t enjoy filming

Sorry for rant but I’ve had such a terrible time making this due to stress and other people that I’m unsure of continuing despite it being the only thing I’ve actually had desire to do apart from sitting on my ass playing video games and watching tv/films

Any pointers as to what my next steps can be I don’t want to reshoot as my friends were nightmares to work with and I don’t have money for actors
