Independent Rupture Research
I also showed our film to family and friends who gave me some critics and postitives that they had .
" Really s@!t scared , very good, really like the titles" Wend Prince ( My aunt)
"Faaaaaabulous, but why is he tied up?" Anna Gavriliedes
" Edited well , and good creative effects in the titles, i'm unsre about the story though" Chris Welch
" The plot doesnt appeal to me, i wouldnt go and watch it, but the editing is good and the framing is nice. My favourite part is the blood titles. They are really thriller like" Janyn Williams .
"The titles and music are like a James Bond. I would give it 9 out of 10" James Devy
"WOW Max you guys are really amazing, it's really good. How did you do the blood titles and Black and White effect ? " Tamid Kuddus
"He must have been tied up for a long time , i want to see more" Rasheed
"cool" Owen Bradley ( he mumbled clearly enjoying the film)
" Sound quality for the speech lets it down a bit, but otherwise w good opening, very enigmatic and ends with an effective cliffhanger" Jake Moxon
Average mark i got out of 10 form friends and family was about 8.9 .
They think the area which we could most improve was the sound quality for speech.
