3. I've only heard of the film maker, none of his films.
4. It does sound quite interesting, but only if it were a short film and not feature length, I think it could get too boring and overlong if it was over 45 minutes.
5. I think there is a small audience for this type of film, it sounds like something that would be shown on Channel 4 rather than a cinema.
6. Yes, I would be interested because it's sounds fascinating to see how certain people react to being recorded while travelling in a lift.
7. In some cases, it works very well just having a voice over and nobody else on screen, but I usually prefer to have an actual presenter with the people they are talking about and the subject.
8. I think he would want to make a film like this because it's more of an experimental film and those kind of films are always quite popular because audiences like to see films with new ideas.

3. No.
4. Yes, I think that it would be bizarre just to watch people walk in and out and it would be interesting to see why people would want to film that.
5. I think that there might be an audience for this, mainly the younger generation. I think that the younger generation like to do experimental film- making and like things out of the ordinary and a bit different. The older generation would not understand it.
6. Yes, I would. I like things that are have a bit of an edge and are not mundane, and are different from other films.
7. Onscreen, I like to see their facial expressions and how they react to answers of their questions.
8. Because it goes against the grain and it's not the same as everybody else's, it's inventive and created out of the norm.
