Self Critique of Project Sandwich

For the second project we were given a list of strategies to use for this project. I chose simultaneity and either collage or juxtaposition (I mixed the simultaneity shots together  and tied the story together so they would meet)

Synopsis: 
A man wakes up realizing that he is late grabs his pistol and runs, meanwhile a man is in a cafe is making a sandwich. The first man is running and running while the other is slowly making his sandwich. The second man is about to take a bite of his sandwich when he sees the first man  come into the cafe. The second man says "hi" and the first man shoots him then sits down and takes a bite of the sandwich.

Intent:
I wanted this to be a comedy, to build up the anticipation and tension of this man running and the man making the sandwich.

Problems/Things I Want to Do Better:
My problem with this project was the place that I chase for the man making the sandwich. The original room had enough room and a great view to have in the background, but that room was ocuppied with a class so I had to pick the Sleaze n Slime Cafe. Which was hard to direct in with so many people and other non controlling variables. I also had trouble shooting in class cause time was of essence and had to change places for the first man. Though now that I look back it has really helped me to plan more and be ready for the unexpected situations.
