Summary
This short 60 second film is about an upstart chess player who has to play a game of chess. He is confronted by a person who asks him if he is playing Microft. The chess player starts losing to Microft until he tell Microft to look somewhere, then he secretly switches the pieces and it looks like he won. The goal of the film was to make people laugh at this humorous video because the main character obviously is losing. This obviously would not happen in real life considering how good chess players are, but I thought that it would be a funny short film.

Was it clear that my character was freaking out and cheated?
Was this film funny at all?
Feedback
- that one strong “cheating” gesture in a short film works great! The overhead angle shot was slightly disorienting to me.
- The shots and cuts were well done and flowed really well.
- The different camera lines and how steady it was held was not very well done. The 180 degree rule.
- The intention of creating a short funny film was acomplished and it was obvious that my main character cheats.
