Film: Audience Feedback (Teacher) for Second Draft of Film

Feedback given on second draft of short horror film - Playtime:
  • Spelling errors in credits - production and starring.
  • Credits are too long - get rid of names at the beginning.
  • The moment before Myles ties his shoelace on the floor, they all look bored and it has no purpose. Makes it seem like they're doing anything to fill time (01:05) 
  • Myles should spend a bit longer looking at the balloon. The balloon should pop before Myles get to it. 
  • Need a bigger balloon and a pin to pop it. There should be somewhere underneath the tree (out of the camera frame) to make the audience jump.
  • The popping of the balloon should be recorded beforehand and exaggerate it. 
  • Leave identity of the clown a bit longer. 
  • Editing is too quick. 
  • Showing too much of the costumes (maybe just a shoe/sparking gold part of the costume).
  • Faint screams, footsteps, branches breaking and ruffles in the bushes while the jack in the box plays. 
  • Mica's death is too quick and the effect should be made longer. 
  • Leave the identity of the clown hidden until the taxi. 
  • Quick transitions.
  • Hammad doesn't look scared - doesn't know where he is but the taxi somehow appears. 
  • Things need to be slowed down. 
  • Get rid of fighting scene in the middle of the road.

  1. Helena, it would be more beneficial if you had actually explained why these changes were suggested and how you are going to address them.
