6. Conclusion
Overall, I think that our feedback was relatively fair in
terms of sound, editing and camera work but I felt the
we should have got more recognition for our mise en
scene.
I felt that we had good props, with the gun and the
blood, that our costumes were appropriate for
detectives, our setting and location were realistic and
the body language of our actors was good to show
what was happening. I felt that our mise en scene was
the key to making it look professional.
