The thing that I liked the most was the click whenever he pulled it on and off,I also liked when it fell down and the expression on his face.
The thing I disliked about it was the breathing which was really loud and the snow which was also very loud.
I dont think he should of pulled the rope loads of times once he already had done it because it would lead to huge consiquenses and to prove that there was a helicopter at the end searching for someone who could of fouund a way to change it from night to day instantly.
Do you think he made the right choices?
No because he kept pulling the rope when he knew if he pulled the rope too many times something bad was going to happen. What was something you liked/disliked about this film? I disliked the bit were the man kept dancing while pulling the rope for no reason, like why does he need to do that?
I don’t think he should’ve pulled the rope more than once because he didn’t know if it was important and didn’t put into consideration that it could break/fall if he pulled it too many times. I would’ve left the rope alone because I would be scared if it broke. At the end the film uses sound effectively because you could hear people screaming in fear when the lights went off. It also creates an ominous atmosphere when the music started playing scary music. I really liked how the actor displayed his emotions from happy / joyful to scared and panicked.
Emir Ambler primary school No i think it was silly to do that many times and pull it like that because of the material it was. i would of not do it that hard and after a few goes i would go and tell someone it does it perfectly with the sound like when he was stepping on snow and the rope falling. i liked how they used sound and animation
I think that the man did not make the right choice because he ended up making it stay night forever. Also near the end of the video, I could hear a car crash and people screaming in the background. He could have just turned the rope on and then leave it and go back to what ever he was going to do. The short film uses the sound effectively by when he makes the world dark a ominous sound play and it makes me feel tense and nervous.
I don’t think that the man made the right decision because he ended up making it stay dark forever. What the man could have done differently is that he could have just let the switch/rope alone and go about his day.I didn’t like the fact that the man kept on pulling the switch and did not leave it alone.
I think it was the right chose t show that sometimes if your to rough with stuff then it breaks.But I would have included some sound we he was turning it on and off people should be sounding concerned.The sound is used very effectively I liked the light switch sound.I didn’t like the bits were he was walking it was to much it should have been one scene.

It was a really good short film, and was really intriguing towards the end. I like how he walked off at the end like nothing happened. I think he made the wrong choices because he made it turn to night when it was actually day time. I would have taken a picture of it and showed it to my friends but would have left it there and would go back the next day to see if it’s still there.
I think he should try and put it back together and then don’t start yanking because you could get in lost of trouble
This short film was very decisive since the guy had the option to pull the rope or not. Consequently, he pulled the rope which caused the rope to break. I think he should of seen what is does and then leave it alone since you don’t know what can happen next.
The man shouldn’t have pulled the rope too many times after he found out that it turned off all of the light in the world.
Do you think he made the right choices?
No, I would have left the rope there and -maybe- tell someone about it.
Is there something you would have done differently?
Pull it once and walk away.
How does the film use sound effectively ?
It doesn’t over use sound effects and they use them and the correct moments.
What was something you liked/disliked about this film?
The plot of it and how they used all their sound effects

The sky went dark and the sun was push out of the way be the moon. Question shot through Steve’s head: why is it dark, what happened when I pulled the rope and where did the sun go.Steve didn’t know how to answer any of these question so he put them to aside.He groped around for the smooth touch of the rope for a long time, then after many attempts he found it and gave another hard tug … the twinkling stars and black sky were replace with fluffy white clouds on a blue background and the moon was over throne by the sun. more questions came to him: what happened when I pulled the rope and why is it bright again.

l it but i couldn’t reach it. I pulled it.
Nothing happened. We got ready then I jumped up on the rope. I climbed up to the top of the atmosphere. I saw heaven. God came to greet me. Then we jumped to the surface. My strength allowed me to pull the rope. Suddenly the sun exploded. All the food and water disappeared. People were quickly starving. Luckily no one died.
I left and decided to become an inventor. I made a machine that can make any food or drink with just chemicals. He saved the human race. He became the most famous person in the world. I got billions of pounds.

After Milly pulled the rope everything went pitch black the power went out everyone screamed and panicked. Ohh so this is was what it does she thought to herself. She pulled it again and what happened next was fascinating, it went straight back to normal, you could see everything. The power was on and everything was fine.
Milly started to climb the five thousand foot rope. She was ¼ there,different things started to happen, things to disappear. Power was going off and everything was going wrong, there was screaming and then crying. She climbed to the top, everyone was happy, she was happy.

He began to panic and strolled away . Suddenly the continuously crackling sound started again . Fred kept on hearing something that sounded like it was hitting the rocks so he went and investigated.
Why is there a mysterious rope on a mountain Fred thought to himself . He didn’t know if he should or not but he pulled it and the whole world froze even the time. He quickly turned it back and tried to climb it but it felt impossible . Even though it felt impossible he kept trying .
He finally got close to the top but the worst of the happened and it started shaking . The whole thing collapsed and and it stayed so everyone was frozen and it was only him alive that could move in the whole world . Not even his family could move .
The conclusion is that the boy pulled a rope and everything froze including people so he’s basically the only person alive .

One fortnight ago, on a chilly morning, Tina Ducling set out to her meeting through the narrow dirt path in the woods. Her hazel hair billowed elegantly in the wind that stung her eyes and whistled in her ears. A crimson red squirrel with a bushy ginger tail scampered across her path and past a red rope. What was that doing in the middle of nowhere? Tinas curiosity got the better of her. Like a snail, she approached the rope…
Her pupils grew two times their normal size as she set her gaze upward. The carefully weaved red rope seemed to be hanging in midair. Her mind raced. Hesitantly, she reached our one shaking hand towards it. Nothing happened. Sharply, she yanked it downwards. A strange tingling sensation spread throughout her body-from head to toe.
She glanced down at herself. Her heart started to run a mile. She felt dizzy. Her body was the size of a teenagers…
