Holding Pattern

We have been given a script and told to create a short 5 or so minute movie with it, the script is called 'Holding Pattern' and is basically a small snapshot of a foreign person (Romanian) life in Britain. I have checked YouTube for clips with the same name and came up with two that use the same script... however one of them uses a French person instead of a Romanian. here they are

This one is the French version of the same script, I did not find this one as interesting as the second version I found (can be found below this clip) - however I did like the little change to the script and the fact that this person was telling his story through a letter he was writing to his mom, very good improvisation.


Although this clip was not shot with greater detail to lighting (as the one above has) I felt the shots where really well done and gave a very good 'feel' to the movie, the music suited pretty well but the thing I would of incorporated from the last one was a way to 'steer' the story better (by writing the letter and telling the story better instead of just a few random shots without a narrative) - the thing that I was also impressed with about this movie was that I recognized most of the locations in these shots and thus giving me a pretty clear picture of how it would look if we used these locations and also showed me the types of props they used which could definitely be beneficial when picking ours ... thanks guys.
