Hey! Fun film guys.
I don't really see the reason for using vignette in video editing. It works well for photographs but since its video and its moving images it just looks weird and unnatural. A really important thing about being comic is taking it seriously. I think your actor did a good job for the most part. I would be more careful with continuity and put a constant room tone to avoid abrupt audio changes. Comedy has to have sense too. Make a story board! it takes 4 minutes and gives you a great advantage also gives more reason to your shots that way it wont look improvised. All the props have to have a reason to be where they are not just randomly located, it has to be logical for the guy to put the open substances on the tiny jiggly shelf in a way that we might understand.
Hope this works as feedback, I understand sometimes we lack money for equipment but use all you have available from houselamps to tablecloths. The story in general is clear and simple but some of the things that happen don't seem to have any reason behind. He chokes the sock, why? and then the next scene the sock is lying in bed awake taking to him. Weird transition.
The questionnaire guy was creepy, he had no backgroung and unclear objectives. Kind of unnecessary, it was clear that the wife was dead. We didn't need to be literally told that.
Well it a short review, hope it helps.
Good luck and have fun!
