Cheng’s day begins like any other boring day, until he begins to think about scary things. This fear is only in his imagination, or is it….

I really liked the story of your project and the use of the camera lens as the perspective you see the story from. In a way I’m left wondering whose eyes we were viewing Cheng’s demise from. Could it have been a friend? Or a more sinister monster? Either way you choose to think about it, I think its a very clever way of showing horror. I also thought each cut to a scary picture was effective. Looking back, even though it caught me off guard each time, the pictures were always in time with the music.
I liked your concept but I feel like your delivery could have been a little better. One thing that bugged me was the screen ratio. I do not know what happened there, but I felt a little annoyed that I cannot see much. Maybe that was intentional but I just did not get that. I did like the effects though. When you got into the elevator and the screen turned negative color, it was a surprise. I like how your video kept catching me of guard. Cheng’s face was the best part at the end.
Good job. I enjoyed this. The “just a boring day” really felt like it was a boring day. Libraries, the setting, the atmosphere really made it seem like so. What really caught me off guard was the pictures you placed in between. Not just a boring day, anymore now is it? The photo of the baby really scared me. Probably because of the irony – we expect babies to be cute and cuddly, yet this one had dangerous teeth! Really good job!
