The Short Film Review
We had just recently completed our audio, and before we moved on to add titles, we needed our film to be reviewed. It’s important to have a new set of eyes review your project after you’ve been staring at it for so long. They can pick up mistakes you cannot because you’re rolling over them. So, we left it up to our friends, who can be very brutally honest with us.
The biggest changes
our friends decided we needed to work on was the lighting, audio, and
transitions. This was especially frustrating after the work I had just put in
to try to make the audio less terrible. But I couldn’t help but agree. You
could still hear the wind pretty badly over the dialect in many scenes. They also
made the comment it felt jumpy. We took that as if the transitions were not as
smooth as they could be. That is another completely valid argument. We did not
work to blend the scenes as best as we could. They also mentioned that there was
some glare in a few scenes. This was a struggle we experienced while filming. Even
as an actor, it hurt my eyes to look at some of the beach scenes.
Not everything was negative, though. They did
have some very encouraging positive feedback. They loved the storyline (even
with the corniness). They believe the clues were interesting. And they told us
they were proud of us. They're such great friends, and I’m thankful for their
feedback.
