Our set task

We were given the task to watch 5 short films and had to decide two that we wanted to critically review. We chose "A Favour" and "The Tenant". We had to pick one that we liked and one that we disliked. So we liked "A Favour" and disliked "The Tenant". So we kept in the teams who we are doing our short films with and filmed a critical review on both short films.
We had set points to mention but most of the review was our own words and views on it. It was really good experience for when we do our short film and revealed errors that we would make sure we improved in ours.


This is our short film review
