I feel that Primer itself works quite well as a low budget Science Fiction piece and its element of time travel is very well implemented, but overall the story is actually quite confusing at times for the audience and I'm not entirely convinced that films overall plot and story really comes together that well. From this it's become apparent that dealing with time travel on film can actually be a high risk hurdle that this project will have to tackle on a whole; we don't want to be too obvious and treat our audience as children overly explaining the plot and science to the audience, but whilst also making sure that the film itself and the science behind it really makes sense within the universe of our film.
The opening to Primer, really struck me from a visual stand point as it makes really good use of the limited location space available to the crew and the jump cuts bring you the viewer into that feeling of traveling through time before the actual plot and characters have been fully introduced to you, setting the scene really well for the subject matter that ensues.
Something that I really like is the use of very slow pans within Primer, from a visual standpoint you can really engage your audience with camera movement whilst only actually really showing the audience something as mundane of characters just holding a meeting around a table that is vague to it's audience. This is the kind of camera movement that would like for this project to use as I feel this can really add to the films visuals.
