What have you learned from your audience feedback?

Our film received generally great reviews from the people that watched our film however we did receive a few constructive criticisms which helped us realise what we could have done differently in order to make our film better. Below are some of the anonymous reviews we received after the screening of our film and what we took from each one.

“Fantastic opening worked really well” – We were very happy to receive this comment as we spent a lot of time on our opening sequence as we had to make sure it was able to catch the audience’s attention in order to make them want to watch the rest of the film.

“Good lighting in alley scene” – We spent a lot of time working out the best possible lighting situation when it came to filming this scene and we believe it really pays off, as this review shows, and I personally I believe it was the best shot of the whole film.

“Beautifully scripted and authentic” – This was by far the best comment we received as we spent a long time on our script in order to perfect it so we could make our film more authentic.

“American accents worked well” ­– We were very pleased with this review as we put a lot of effort into practicing our accents in order to get them just right. We wanted to make our film as realistic as possible and this meant having accurate accents which we were able to do.

'Good acting but maybe more emotions could be shown in death scene' – Although this comment makes sense we feel we conveyed the perfect emotions in our death scene. We wanted Sylvia to be unresponsive to the gunshot as we wanted to accurately convey just how cold and uncaring her character was and the fact that she was merely using Rex rather than having any actual feelings for him. In that sense I feel that scene worked exceptionally well.

“Music and sound effects were edited well” – We were very pleased to have received this comment as we spent a vast amount of our time in editing stage sourcing and obtaining authentic and accurate sounds and music that would enhance the emotion and atmosphere of the scenes.

“The ending would have been better with credits” – I wholeheartedly agree with this statement but unfortunately we ran out of time before we could add the credits into the film. This is my single biggest regret with our film.

I was very pleased with the reviews and feedback we received for our film as it showed us that all the hard work and dedication we put into filming and editing it really paid off. I’m thrilled that people enjoyed watching our film as much as we did making it.
