"I like the style" "Style over substance"
"GET RID OF THE CAR CRASH
IT'S CONFUSING" "I don't get it"
"You should keep 'INSERT PARTY MONTAGE HERE'bit"
"What's the point?" "Story first"
"The smily faces make it look dated"
We survived the Rough Cut Screening with David and Eddie and our fellow film makers. We weren't the best but certainly were not the worst (some groups showed sweet f-all!). All the suggestions have been noted and generally the feedback was helpful and positive. People embraced the style but didn't understand they story. As Mckee states in Story "Like music, dance, painting and sculpture, poetry and song, story is first, last, and always the experience of asthetic emotion." If the story fails, no matter how good it looks, the film fails. Simple.
