I saw the video, and I think that gives a very graphic idea of how everything might look. Perosnally, I imagined Mr. Foster as a man with beard and not with a suit, which suits him well on the dramatisation. However, I thought him, as I said, less formal, resembling to the typical white-bearded writer, smokin a pipe o a cigar (as he does in the story). Although these small things I personally disagreed with the video, it`s quite good and graphic, not to mention it is kind of peculiar
ReplyDeleteI think that the video gives a brief description of the series of events that occur on the story, but actually I didn´t like it so much.
ReplyDeleteHere are my comments...
ReplyDelete1. I think that the style used, mixing written stuff with video scenes, helps to understand the story and its differents interpreations in a short time..
2. They look almost exactly as I imagined them! (The only difference is that I thought that the woman would be a bit older)
3. They help a lot!
4. The director focused on the gestures and looks creating a boring and slow style of film.. I prefer a more dynamic one..
5. I really like this story. In spite of being gruesome and terrofic, it is short and the ending definitely caught my eye.
See u!
