Javier M. Hernandez_Boom Operator...

... needs to get better at holding that boom pole. I saw the boom mic dip down into the top of the screen at LEAST 3 times, maybe at the most 5 times, throughout the entire film.
You'd think the EDITOR and DIRECTOR as well would know better than to use a shot where the boom mic gets in the screen space. Directors - by the way - alert the EDITOR if this does happen even for a second. Production Managers/Script Supervisors - who ever is doing the shot logs - NOTE that the boom got in the shot and at around what time, line, or action in the shot. Because then the EDITOR is going to have to avoid that time in the shot, to cut to a cutaway shot, and then back to whatever shot was ruined by boom operators like Mr. Hernandez here!!

:) but i did like the movie - mostly the acting and plot... hardly anything else... the shots were typical, despite the set of their house being awesomely beautiful... the framing of the shots at times were also kind of blah... the sound came out well despite being able to SEE the boom mic... music was all right... editing was ok despite them not editing out the bad snippits in the shots....
oh well - guess hollywood movies can't be ALL professional. ;)
