Audience Feedback on "Breaking"

Some audience feedback after watching "Breaking"

Breaking: Second Draft

What I have improved along with the list of improvements I needed to make on the previous post:

• Put the title next to the picture on the chair and made the text larger and last for longer than the frame
• Taken the title out of the ending and the music

Breaking: Bloopers

Some of the bloopers/outtakes from the filming of my film opening.

Breaking: First Draft

What I need to improve on my second draft:

• Take guitar music out from the beginning as it sounds too relaxing
• Break up the opening credits more - maybe add who directed e.t.c
• Change opening with the logo - add "presents" at the start
• Less kissing
• Take out some of the voice over ("stupid") as it sounds childish
• Add a fade after the part where the characters are chasing each other

Meet the Cast!

Katie as Jean - She seems to be quite a nice and innocent person and so perfect for the main character

Mehwish as Lily & Abigail as Tessa - They can both pull of being spiteful (acting, of course)

Matt as Max & Naise as Anna

Unfortunately getting the cast was not an easy task. In the end I had to chose people who I thought would be right for the parts and when I asked them none of them were really willing to act in the film. After asking a lot of people I eventually managed to get Katie, Mehwish, Abi, Naise and her boyfriend, Matt to star in the film. Naise was a good choice as she had a boyfriend and there would be no other way to film unless I chose someone who was with someone. I rewrote some of the script when I knew that she would be able to be in it with Matt, otherwise I don't think I would be able to do it. 

Locations

I only need two main locations for filming.
The first one is the living room and kitchen of my house, chosen because of the easy access - I can just move around whatever I need to. There is significant space so enough room for a tri-pod. Also, it was the place I had in mind when creating the storyboard and the best place that works with the script. It is just better because I have the freedom.

It is quite tidy as well which reflects the OCD of the main character. 

The second place, is the road outside my house, an alley and a space in front of some shops.

Quite a large area in front of the shops - teenagers usually hang around here at night which made me think of this place.

Alley on the side of the shops is perfect for the main character to be when she's watching the other characters.

There's lots of space to move around and the good thing about filming outside in an area like this is that I don't need to ask anyone permission. The area is not very busy so there's not much of a risk of having a continuity error as people don't walk past a lot. Outside the shops is a main road which is quite busy, however we will not be going near the road so safety issues are not much of a problem. This again, were places that I had in mind when writing the script and drawing the story board. Everywhere is very grey which can reflect the characters emotions in the film.
