90250, nit-picking begins now

Inconsistent and odd framing. I'm guessing this was deliberate, but when you break the rules like that, unless you do it masterfully, it comes across as amateurish. For instance, why is the funeral director's head cut off?

Eyelines don't match.

Lighting issues. I'm sure the red on Asper's ear was thought to be a subtle touch on set, but it looks kind of silly. Other colored lighting elements are distracting. With a set this minimal, why not black and white?

Casting could have been better, but I'm sure you went with the best options at your disposal.

The shots never cut together to give us a coherent idea of the space the characters are in. I'm guessing this is to hide the incomplete set, but each shot looks entirely isolated from the others. No "film space" is created."

It's cute but slight. Do you really want to make Addams Family episodes?
