Hello all! I've been a lurker for... quite a while now! Well, with the latest short film completed for a school project - I would like some feedback.
First Up : 'Qian Nan' which is the phonics for Light Blue in Mandarin
The Story was inspired by real events observed in mother's workplace ( conflicts between two very different men that changed over several months). Due to several constraints and requirements, we kept the story within a day. Personally, I feel that the extra 8 minutes we had in the first cut would have made the development of the two's relationship more realistic. And Realism was what we aimed for, though I did notice that we ended up striding a bit away from it.
We had literally no budget at all and begged to film there for about 12 hours total. It was rushed, but we made do with what we had. Was it the film I wanted? Not completely. Whilst it was supposed to be a critique of Hong Kong's working environment, we had no time to do much critique... Just... Show and Tell. I would be really appreciative of your comments about the whole film in general and possibly the improvements I can make as a Director and a Cinematographer?
Disconnect
This was the winner of a local 48 Hour Film Challenge. And although it was flashier and fun to make... There's something I don't completely like about it - maybe it was sour taste from the project.
Again, any Feedbacks would be awesome. And please don't spare me because I'm a student!
Thanks!
