Enjoyed the shooting and direction of this short film as I felt it really suited the narrative and themes within. Some of the close-up and first person shots worked particularly well. Not so sure about the narrative itself however - it will definately of sparked some reactions. It reminded me of Lord of the Flies.

that's the beauty of the narrative, it allows you to understand the mentality of the gang and how people often feel pushed into situations they wouldn't usually find themselves/ want to be in. I felt the location was perfect for the film and gave it a 'real life' edge. Dizee Rascal's music video for 'Sirens' uses the narrative of fox hunting in an urban setting as well but in a more metaphoric way; where the human is the fox being victimized by the sterotypical fox-hunter (a symbol of authority in this case).

Instantly made me think of Dizzee Rascals video sirens as said in the above comment. Gritty short film, 'Kidulthood' type mentality. Location and setting suits the theme, the smearing of the paint reflective of traditional Fox hunting.
