Evaluation of "The Exchange":

We decided to film our neo-noir mixing crime and suspense. I did not play a major role in the film, and focused my time on working with the camera and trying to compose shots for fluid editing later on. Between my team, I feel the acting was strong. This came from our relationship as a team, and that our friendship meant we were fairly comfortable performing all of our scenes. I feel that the editing went fairly well, although there were some minor problems. I was not present to participate in the editing, but think that the finished project was overall a success, especially in setting tone and mood. Re-shooting several scenes, as well as more careful shooting and editing would certainly benefit the piece, but since it was our biggest project so far, as well as this being the piece we had most freedom with, I feel it has taught us several lessons in limitations and practical/technical skills.
