The Last Supper

The last supper is a thriller-cooking show made by a media studies student in Hurtwood House, in my understanding the sequence is about a mad cook that uses humans for meat.

What do you think the rest of the film might be about?

 I think the rest of the film is about this man that makes crazy dishes, maybe he even feeds his friends and they have no idea that its human meat.

What is your view on the casting? Have they chosen convincing actors? (not necessarily in terms of their acting but in terms of their suitability for the role/the right look etc.)

I think the casting is great, they got an adult to take the roll of the mad cook which I find is more likely then a kid, the girl being the victim also seems to work well. It would seem unrealistic if he had a really strong older looking man/woman as hostage.

Are the characters interesting?

The characters definitely seem interesting, a human eating cook isn't very common as far as I know, also the way that he is so enthusiastic about his cookery.

 

If there is dialogue, what do you think of it?

I think the dialogue is good overall, the mad cook sounds insane but I feel like the girl would have tried to call out for help and not just screamed like a kid.

What do you make of the camera work, editing, sound, how convincing is the mise en scene?

 The editing and sound was good, there is a nice establishing shot as the first shot to introduce the kitchen, the killer and a close up pan right after to introduce the vegetables. The camera work is good throughout the video, such as when he stabs the girl you see his face with the blood on it, which was smart so that they wouldn't have to get a fake body to stab.

If I were editing I would have re-recorded the screaming after he stabbed her as it seemed unrealistic. Another great shot was of the meat sizzling near the end and the final shot which was of the cook trying the meat.

Is it a studio or location shoot? How does this effect the final product?

It looks like a location shoot but since its indoors it could simply be a really big studio,  it has a great effect on the final product as it feels more like a cooking show follow along type scenario.  

If there is music, does it fit the piece? What mood does it create?

 There isn't any music, but I think that if there was a happy tone when hes not stabbing the girl it would add a little more to the mad man feel that I get from him. It could jump from happy to super sinister when the girl is in the shot.

What do you think of the film title they have chosen?

I think the font and the spacing on the title is great, it gives this scary feel as it fades in from a black screen.

Is it effective overall? Does it make you want to watch on?

Yup, its definitely effective. I'd like to watch on to see if anyone finds out what he used as ingredients in his food.

What type of film do you think it would be if made for real? Low or high budget? Independent or mainstream?

It could be a high or low budget film, depending on how the script is before and after these scenes. Again it being independent or mainstream is completely up to how the rest of the story is, but I think that it could be mainstream if it makes the madness and comedic side work well.
