Is This a Joke? (2011)
Worse than a Community College film project
I like low budget and no budget films, so I recognized Nikola Fiore's name in the opening credits. I'd seen her in Terror at Bloodfart Lake, which is actually a fun and entertaining film!
This, on the other hand, is not. Lighting is bad in the occasions it's used at all. Audio quality sounds like it's through a cheap camcorder mic and audio levels are totally different between shots. Added sound effect levels are way too loud.
What's with the sets? You can shoot in an actual bar for one joke but then you have to shoot all the other bar jokes in the basement in your house?
I'm not even an amateur filmmaker but I feel like this movie could have been much better had the filmmakers googled "how to light a set" or "how to frame a shot" or even gone through the software tutorial on iMovie.
I'm usually a very positive person and super supportive of independent filmmakers, but this was just awful in every technical aspect.
2 stars because the project got completed and uploaded to Amazon Prime.
