ZFarms Productions Presents "Amore"

Really looking forward to this one guys.

Was it difficult to get the high school (assuming that's what it is) location?

Actually it is a local college. The University of Central Florida (UCF). I think we got lucky more than anything else with that location!
 
its goin' good. thanks. just started photography this month. focus on b&w photography. 35mm camera. fully manual. pretty cool. and i've had to write a bunch of short stories for creative writing, and some of them i really wanna turn into short films. already got so much out of Full Sail.
 
I liked the rejection hotline dialog at the end. It was fun to see a production with similarities to my own film.
Some of the colors were a bit washed out/white clipped in the outdoors scenes. Some of the dialog was a bit forced, but not too bad.
Audio levels a bit off from scene to scene (loud then soft then loud again).

Thanks for sharing this!
 
Thanks for the comments. I haven't gotten around to the Poet yet, but I'm getting there I promise. I'm just in school for the next 4 hours. I tried to color correct the outside scenes, but I'm not the greatest at color correction yet, and didn't really want to screw up the look. I plan on fixing the audio for later releases. I didn't have a lot of time to edit the film because my audio guy moved away and I didn't get the files until about 5 days before the entry was due.

We're all working on stuff. I tend to focus on a specific area on one film, get that part where I want it then learn a new craft (CC, Audio, DOF, etc).

Keep making films!
 
Not bad! The audio did need some work and a few of the edits were a little harsh though. On the plus side... this piece did look really nice and it was very well shot. I also liked some of the chatter between him and his buddies. :)

The actors weren't bad but they need a little more polish.
Overall, a strong entry.

Cheers.
 
Thanks Michael. Only one of the guys was an actual actor, the others are my friends who haven't really acted before. Kathrine is an actress as well. I really like her performance, it adds this devilish tone to the character. That's what I wanted, and that's how the girl was who did this to me in high school. Yes this is based on me. HAHA.
 
only to encourage.

I liked the depth of field. Really shallow and pretty looking.

I thought the acting could have been better.
The sound took me out of the picture. Sounds everything!
The color was different from shot to shot which also I think could be worked on.
I go to a community college and that's how it exactly looks, so it was hard for me to think it was a high school. Who's number is 407 970 8278? Haha. Also c'mon rejection hotline, no such thing! I think if it were a random restuarant or something it would make the ending a little better. Over all really cool.

Best luck on the next project.
 
Dean! Nice little short. Nice ending, too. There were a couple of technical issues as previously stated but you kept me engaged in the story which, after all, is the most important thing. Good work.
 
There is such a thing as the rejection hotline. The number used in the film is the real phone number to the rejection hotline.

We tried to make it look like a fancy higher class high school. We got turned down by actual high school's, so we had to use University of Central Florida.

Thanks for the constructive criticism. I do plan on working on all the things you mentioned on future projects, and on this for a later release to clean it up.
