"I liked it"
date: July 2, 2009
First, the things I enjoyed about it. I enjoyed the way the story was told and the ambient music in the background. I liked the interactive part of turning the pages. The pressing of the play button is a good idea, in a way it allows the reader to go at their own pace, though the video continues onward, they can start it when ready.
A couple of items perhaps that could be fixed. While I enjoyed the video and the page turning I think that maybe the video shouldn't react to the mouse over on the corner of the page until it is clicked. A few times I started the movie and while the video is nice they are a bit long, so when I was halfway through it it would stop on the mouse over and I would want to see the end of the small video. Also I think maybe a few sound effects might be nice. Just to add a little something. Like when the boy steps on the branch, the creaking of the door, the scream he gives at the end... all of those might add more to it. Even if it is just those few effects they might add an added 'scare' factor.
Over all though it was nicely done.
