Student Short Film - 'Broken' 2008

I made this movie this year for year 12 media. I really enjoyed creating it, so hope you all enjoy watching it! Feedback is always welcome! Thanks for watching

Synopsis:
Sam Stevens (Danielle D'Agostino) and son Jack Stevens (Adam Camerota) share a loving relationship. Sam would do anything for her son, and the same goes for him. When Jack goes off to school one normal day, he doesn't return, it is only now that Sam realises a traumatic experiece that happened in her past, has caused her to imagine certain aspects of her life that are not real. She is suffering from an illness, (schizophrenia) but doesn't know it.

Good job. My critiques would be...

move the camera on certain shots, not just tripod the whole movie. Also, when the kid didn't come back from school, it wasn't apparent that she was worried. Just looked like she was washing dishes. In my oppinion, you should have had her waiting a the door for a while ready to do something, then move to dishes as time elapsed. And a little bit more time on the discovery, and less time on random cutaways like buttoning jacket. But good job.

Very nice, I can tell that this was a very well thought out video. The use of color was very well done and the the music definitely added to the drama of the whole composition. A+ my friend, keep it up!

A great movie :)

I would say to improve try making the music quieter and the voices lowder :)
