Overall I am extremely happy with my audience feedback. It appears that the film has been very well received with 9/10 saying that they'd watch the film again.
Although 6 out of the 10 made remarks that certain parts were less engaging
e.g. "The chair stacking" and "The laughing near the beginning "
When asked what they would change about the film only 2 people mentioned the lengthy scenes as something that needed altering.
I disagree with them. For me the lengthy scenes are absolutely vital in creating the dull monotonous life that the character has, without them we have no sympathy or connection with him and without a connection the ending becomes meaningless. Thankfully a few of those asked agreed and said something similar
e.g. "the sweeping, however in hindsight i guess it mimics the boring life he has which gives us a bigger payoff at the end when he is near the water"
I will stick with my gut feeling and keep the lengthy scenes the same length, and perhaps in final audience feedback even more will agree with the decision to keep them in.
I will however, re look at the sound in the film as some made comments about the volume not being equal for all of the voiceover, and I have noticed a couple of very minor moments where you can hear me shouting out bits of direction to the actor. This will need to be changed. I may also touch up the lighting in the beach scene, as one comment described as a suggestion.
