Responces from audience
BY CHARLOTTE BARLOW
TITLE OF THE FILM
We asked the audience which name they preferred out of the two- Delusion or The Accident. After calculating our final results we found that Delusion was the most popular as “it doesn’t give too much away and also doesn’t suggest it is about drink driving”. However, someone suggested for us to have the name “Bad influence” we liked the idea of this and messed around with the name to get “Under the Influence”. We liked this name as it goes with the idea of Alison being under the influence of alcohol as she's drunk and also Olivia is under the influence that her friends are still alive when they are not.
CONCEPT
People have said to us that our story line is very cliché. Also others have said to try make sure the accident scene is clear so people will see who is to blame.
Suggested comparisons to other films: Donnie Darko.
PLOT
14 people have said they liked our plot because they liked the fact the plot was interesting and the ending is open to interpretation. However 2 people put no, they explained that they didn't like the plot as it is too cliché. This is contradicted by other peoples responses as they say how our plot is original.
TWIST
ENDING
BELIEVABLE
We asked the audience if they thought our short film was believable and the final outcome was that everyone agreed to it being believable and it shows a good contrast between the stereotypical popular teen and her opposite.
I am glad by this outcome as we didn't want it to be unrealistic as the theme is drink driving and so the disaster in the short film could in fact happen to anyone, therefore this short will hopefully make people more aware of what could happen to people whom drink drive.
STEREOTYPE

- Typical teenagers
- The popular girl is friends with the shy girl
