audience feedback
After reviewing our film a number of times and during to the audience feedback we received, we now recognize our film may have a strong art house audience appeal. After attending a lecture by Roy Stafford “The Multiplex and Cultiplex” and your study of Winter’s Bone and reference to Norwegian Wood, Submarine and Meeks Cut Off we recognize our film has the same non-mainstream appeal and the posters you designed do work to target a 25+, ABC1 audience as well as a possible younger audience.
We did receive some positives from our focus although we realized that they are not our target audience they did on the whole find the film entertaining. Many of them felt that the sound track was very fitting to our film it helped provoke the emotions we wanted to create. they also picked up on the similarities our film has to that of Romeo and Juliet with the two star crossed lovers and how the film ends in a similar way.
What we really wanted them to understand was they symbolism of the tree how it is a circle of life and that every mile stone in the main characters life takes part around the tree. They seemed to understand and were impressed with this aspect of the production.
The posters and article were received well in general.

Hand Held Shots
in clip one you can see we have used a hand held camera technique and made it shake a little
to emulating an independent ‘lo-fi’ style cinema and using this style of cinematography to almost make the audience feel like the main charcter does just after he has taken the overdose, the can't see straight everything is moving as his brains and body begin to slow and stop working along with his vision becoming haze. In the end clip when he dies the camera also shakes this is to show how his body has finally given up and collapsed also that his spirt is some how leaving him causing the camera to shake a little it helps show something is happening that you can not visually see but hopefully the audience will feel this serial presents.
This technique can be seen in the two horror films 'Blair witch prodject' and 'paranormal activity' the hand held camera can make the audience feel like they are more connected to the characters and makes them see the scene from the characters personal perspective. It also give a realistic documentary feel to the scene.
A film like Festen which deliberately uses “raw” techniques (part of the Dogme 95 series) your film has that raw and personal feel to it for the moments taking place in the present.
The flashbacks you use are more fluid. (A great binary opposite for good times and bad, past times and present.)
the camera and film used differs according to different scenes in the film. The camera work acts almost like we shouldn’t be there.
