[Short Film] Bother - Heckle - 10-25-2008
So, A Level Film Studies Project.
Yeah.
Enjoy.
Dunno what grade yet.
Only 5 minutes, shouldn't take too much of your time.
C+C, perhaps? Anythings useful for the evaluation I've gotta do as a follow up.

I did enjoy it.
Documented well. Nice job.
RE: [Short Film] Bother - Gold - 10-25-2008
I thought that was really good
Could have used some footsteps or something though, especially during the pauses.

Yeah, got some contrasting opinions about those; some said they liked it cos it emphasised the emptiness of his world, and others said they disliked it cos it was too empty. I have no opinion =P

Is the dialogue in verse? It flows fairly well. I would suggest you obtain a mic with noise cancelling though, the Ps and Ss are causing minor distortion, and there's a light layer of background hiss (which isn't really noticable until the sound sample ends, which causes a sudden (very noticeable) silence). Most of this can be fixed by running the sample through Audacity or similar. Having the end of a sample fade in volume can work wonders in many occasions.
I'd also suggest white noise, instead of the music you use for the ending. Really cool though, good job.

The sound at the ending was recorded through the camera; we kept it purely cos we didn't realise that we'd caught the sound of his feet hitting the floor. We played it back, heard it, extended the wait for the bang, and was satisfied with the result. Thanks for the tips though, will keep them in mind for any future projects, if any. =D
Oh, and the dialogue was written by Chris (The Suicidal One). Was originally gonna be a lot more dialogue, but time constraints etc.

Yeah, I kinda felt like it shoulda had a bit of an echoish feeling to emphasis the emptiness without actually being nothing, but at the same time echoish woulda been out of place so I dunno. :/

To be honest, it was alright. The lack of music really took away from it, even though you were going for that empty feel. Even something ambient would have really helped.
Keep at it though.
RE: [Short Film] Bother - Heckle - 10-29-2008
More music would have taken away from the impact of the music we used, being the only piece of music, yanno?
But cheers, taken into account.
