Ok, I finally saw it. First let me congratulate you MC! Great concept, great that you got it completed. Now for my constructive The first thing I noticed was the audio. Not sure if you can do more post work but I think you might want to redub the audio. The echo drowns out the times the man is speaking softly. The biggest thing I noticed was that this was basically a monologue but there were no shots from the 'filming camera's point of view (the one he was speaking to). I feel it would give it a more dramatic effect. In fact the actual murder should be from that perspective but not shown to the audience. (show the wall or floor and only hear the screams of terror). There were a few edits that could have been tighter, like the pan from the other man to the woman... there was a big shot of the floor for a long time. Not sure if you have these angles but a few exteme close-ups would have made it more intense as well. Ok, that's my brutually honest answer. I hope you dont get offended, I'm only offering my non-professional opinion.
Exactly what I told Boris!!!
I questioned him about the sound, the pan,but the "off close up" was my idea.... I wanted to hide the actual murder, but ppl still can "peek" thru the small camera's viewfinder....
thanx for you comments and of course I don't get offended, I'm aware of all those details and hopefuly they're eliminated in the final cut....as well as some other shots that should be included and they didn't make the cut...
once again, thanx and....
FA-CUE...

good job McOSIRIS i really like the idea, it reminded me of one of the episodes from the Twilight Zone......one thing tho the guys at the end didn't really give me that feel of war more like just some regular guys breaking into someones house.......I just thinks it needs something to give it that feel that they are at war/POW.
Good mockumentary, the blend of drama,sarcasm and reality was well done, it give you something to think about, Great job!!! (It kinds of remind me of “Tesis”)

I like the idea (or what I interpret as the idea): the vulgarization of death, the passing of human life as a mere media event.
I like the excellent detail of putting a hijab on the female actress. Very realistic.
Downside, I would say the main actor's monologue could convey more emotion, or perhaps "coldness". A more newsanchor-like, detached, clinical feel to what he says.
Also, I think you cut out a "f@ck" from the other male actor, when he says "shut up". It's noticeable.
