TDude, it's completely on account of my lack of fluency, but that Welsh accent made me miss some words. It takes some time to get used to it.
The camera work is pretty weird. There's some adjusting and unnecessary zooming in and out at times and when it moves, it's not always fluent. I think most scenes would've worked best if the camera never moved, because the frames were alright. Then again, this is supposed to be a mockumentary, so I guess this kind of camera work fits the movie stylistically. However, I recently have seen a Korean film that used static shots and introduced a zoom within the static shot a couple of minutes in and I disliked it, too, so maybe that's just a matter of preference.
The deadpan jokes were quite amusing. Haha. I actually laughed at the e-mail part. Well, the bad acting was a feat in itself. However, that one take with you talking to the camera next to a fridge is amazing. Very genuine and it looks almost as if you were crying. I think it wasn't even acted.
You spinning on that chair during the interview with the old guy was so annoying. If I was interviewing you, I would've got bad impression. It was probably intentional and was supposed to mean something, but your movie is such a complicated work of art, I think I will have to rewatch it to fully grasp its meanders of meaning.
But yeah I noticed that too, but we kept it in there as generally the take was what we wanted and we thought it would add to the question of whether or not he got the job, my brother probably did it because he was nervous acting, just as the character would have been nervous at an interview. In the future he could have improved on it if we had more time.
But dude, really, no chicks? I'm not counting your sister. I'm not a pedophile. I'm not even saying "no boobies", I'm saying "no chicks?". Add some chicks next time to your movie. And preferably also a rooster. Or two. For lack of hot babes 0.5 stars! Here I go:
