Previous Week
The editing was pretty good. I liked how the pace picked up near the end. It started to feel like a great trailer, or things to come in a feature length version of "The Orchard".
The music was great. It reminded me of Bernard Herrmann.
I liked the blood spatter shot on the corn. That reminded me of Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow. If only the blood hadn't been orange. You took too many liberties with the color correction. How was that helping you to tell your story? Go with a more natural look, escpecially for that setting. Be subtle.
Get real actors.
I think the overall concept could be turned into a marketable horror film. If you made it a feature it would more than likely get picked up by a distributor.
Also, about the coloring. This was partially due to the different lighting setups and filters we had available while making the film, the harsh orange you notice is mostly because we had to use simple halogen bulbs in place of the worklight we had in some other shots.
You excelled in all of the strong areas here. Good job! It didn't even feel like 5 minutes!

The rest is- in my opinion - average stuff, sorry! ;-)
