Hi all, thank you very much for all of your kind words. I can't tell you how great it is to hear such lovely feedback and I take all of the criticism on board also!
In regards to the ending, some of the story is based loosely on true events but was supposed to be more of a metaphor for the feeling of loosing love - something which a lot of people can relate to! Does the girl drown herself? Does the boy save her? Did the event even happen or is it a blurred recollection of memory being imagined by the boy? Who knows, thats for the audience to interpret.
trueindie, thanks for your kind feedback. The soundtrack was performed by a guitarist from the band tompaulin and was composed just for the film so I hope that helps. The South Africa video music was used from the free Vimeo Music Store!
Micah Conrad, thanks for letting me know your thoughts! The sound was recorded on a Sennheiser MKH 416 recording onto a portable drive which was used from the college where I study. It's quite an expensive microphone and very directional but it produces good results. We didn't do any off set ADR although some dialogue was recorded separately after the take for a better mix. We did struggle with traffic noise and wind due to the locations which was a difficult part of the production.
Thanks again for all of the feedback and I will take on board your comments and hope to improve myself with the next film.
