EPISODE 7: BLAISE STEPS IN

Misunderstanding circulates among community members. Now they’re demanding answers from Maria (Nellie Seta).

Although Blaise (Carlos Zheng) is the focus of this episode, he does not get much screen-time. Blaise gets approximately eight seconds of screen exposure not including the teaser. Frankly, this episode should be named, ‘Caught in the Middle’, since much of the plot revolves around Maria being questioned about her and Daniel’s relationship as well as the company’s purpose in attempting to purchase land.

Close up shots of actors’ reactions need to be utilized.

EPISODE 8: JESSICA FINALLY CROSSED THE LINE

Maria (Nellie Seta) goes to a nightclub where Daniel (Joseph Paul) and his associates including Jessica (Angeleen Sapsi) are having a party.

Maria’s scene action in this episode is inappropriate to the setting. There was no smooth transition from her being considered an outcast to suddenly attending a corporate night out event (Was she invited?). Secondly, Maria's business of carrying coconuts into a nightclub feels out of place and somewhat tacky. Overall, the scene feels disjointed because Maria’s inclusion in the company night out is sudden and her choice to bring coconuts clashes with the nightclub setting, leaving the moment feeling tonally inconsistent.

Swaying camera movement in this scene was an excellent choice as it enhances the drunken atmosphere of the club.

Final Verdict:

Episode 7 does not build on the rivalry between Daniel and Blaise. Meanwhile, in episode 8, Maria’s stage business is unfitting.

Episode 7: ★★☆☆☆ (2/5)

Episode 8: ★★☆☆☆ (2/5)

Overall:

Common sense must prevail when it comes to setting scene action and building the plot.
