Feedback - Nicole.

I thought we definitely needed some more feedback so we had plenty to talk about in our evaluations and discussions so I decided to create a group on the social network "Facebook", with a link to our short film and asked as many people as possible to please write their opinions and feedback on the wall.





Luckily, already alot of people have got back to it and have commented useful and both positive and negative comments which we be helpful to us! Furthermore, a majority of the people to write their comments were from our target audience - young females.
Here are some examples:

"hey it was good but the bit with the letter didnt get to read it all showed it too quick and some of the scenes were quite dark but cool idea and i enjoyed watching it!"

Ami Hewitt, student, media student, 18
Heya..
I love the film, I think its such a great original story line, love the soundtrack behind the first half, I think the fades from when the kids are younger to older works really well, and your match on action if fab!

I also really like the shots where he is getting changed in front of the mirror, really clever and ...looks really pro!!

One criticism, could have muted some ambient sound when it switched to and from both of them (just after she walks away from the door)
LOVE IT

Kathryn Tuck, student/media student, 18
Was a really great project :) Good use of non diegetic sound in the background and the editing, with the fading transitions between the shots of Sophie and Nicole etc. Would have been good to use a few more varied camera shots, you used close ups on Nicole's reactions at the door but maybe could have used a few to high...light the guy's reactions?
Overall REALLY good :)

Ellie Potts media student, 17
Thats such a good movie (: The transitions are done really well, I like the fade you use between the younger children to older.
You have used a good use of camera angles especially reaction shots and i liked the mirror one (:
Only negative is when sophie is texting its clear it was done at night and the boy recieves the ...text in broad daylight!
Other than that really good and you can tell you've put a lot of time and effort into it :D

Abi Black, student/media student, 18
Your film is literally the sweetest thing!
Ok evaluative comments, well I loved it :)
The first scene works really well where it switches between the two where they are sorting out the sound for the computer, and the morphing from them being younger to them being older, as you changed the mise en scene to suit it.The bi...t with the letter although you didn't get a chance to read it all you got the jist of it. Clever how you brought back the same soundtrack from the beginning to the ending, works really well. Was really good to watch :) x

Becky Bates, student, 18
hey.. this is so good! good plot and the transition as they grow up is a really good idea as well as the different clothes in the mirror and i like how there's no actual speech in it
some of it was a little bit dark and had to pause it to read the letter and msn conversations but overall really good well done :) x

Ben Alfrey, student, 17
Me not being an expect in the field of media and film in particular leaves me wondering at what I could criticise at such work. I felt it conveyed a real conflict of emotion taking viewpoints from both genders and all available viewpoint not leaving the viewer in any sort of suggestive or assuming mood. The film exceed...s expectation vastly on media work and this illustrates great quality in the ability you guys have.

James Greeley, student, 17
was pretty good lads well done!!
ben in the mirror was quality!! and nicoles acting left much to be desired!!
joking it was good :)
oh and give more time to read the ltter/ msn convo at the start

Aimee Stroud, student, 17
That was very good :D good work haha umm like the profile group pic ;) anyways i like how 'sophie' grows up think thats a cool idea.. and it was very easy going to watch understood the narrative well. I also liked the way you used msn and phone messaging and the fact i got to see what they were saying to eachother etc..... umm thought the soundtrack was good, you do that yourselves? And the umm gay voice radio thing? haha that was quite comical.. umm what else can I sayy.. it was sad to see him look through the window at the end and loved the way nicole wasnt eating with her noodles just playing with them haha!!

Karl Jenner, Uni Student, 18
heeey
this is a good piece of work =] good camera angles used, good transitions when the kids grow up.....pretty much all of it was quality =]

Arron Smith, 18, media student
aww quite sad in the end :( but i really liked it :P
i liked the idea of msn convo :D:D

Alex Maskell, 18, student
very good!! understood the narrative and liked the use of siblings!! x

Kaz Robertson, 18, media student
I like it, sweet story line, nice point of view mirror shots of Brownie, nice track before he sits on the bench, music fits the mood, I liked the soundbridge radio, your continuity was a bit dodgy when ben folded the letter and posted it throught the door then it landed open and she found it open on the floor.
