Budgerigar was my favourite film of the night. The absurdity of it was hilarious, and the technical competence of the footage only served to make it all the more enjoyable; it was incredibly well shot. I can’t think of anything that could be changed because it was excellent as it is.

I also really enjoyed Getting By as it had a wonderful opening sequence. The slow pacing of it along with the music made it a very tasteful and emotive opening for the character. Though, I remember seeing a preview of this film where the music was a little louder, and in this version the music was almost inaudible, and personally I found the slightly louder music added to the mood of the opening sequence.

I think it may have been A Love Lost that I’m thinking of (with the voiceover of the man getting out of bed and making breakfast?) that was quite good, but I feel like without a voiceover the entire sequence would have been much more powerful. With a voice dictating the background of this character my attention was drawn away from the shots to listen to it, which all seemed very emotive in themselves. Apart from that this was quite a moving piece.

I thought Sliced was very amusing, if a little confusing. I feel like it would have been a lot funnier had it been more evident that the character’s life was being seriously affected by this addiction (there was definitely a lot of opportunity for visual gags like the toaster scene).
