Dramatic structure is only somewhat followed, and actions seem random. Some characters are developed, but at least half are just people on the screen. Who's story is this?	Rotten Tomato What plot?

Music and sound effects suit the cinematography, character, and mood for the majority of the film. Lighting is frequently suitable to the mood of the scene, and the majority of it is technically well done.	Indy Buzz Dialogue is overpowered by background noise or audio buzz. Music and sound effects are in the film because the team liked them, as opposed to helping tell the story. Not much attention was paid to lighting, but the viewer can still see most of the action.	Rotten Tomato Dialogue is difficult to understand for the majority of the film. Little to no use of music or sound effects. Audio was not a priority in this film. Footage is too dark to be seen or overexposed for the majority of the film.	Director Notes
