Cutting my Short Film Down (and Audience Feedback)

The brief for my main product is to make a short film which is up to 5 minutes long. However, my final edit is 7 minutes long so I needed to cut it down.

I did this by getting a media class to watch my film and tell me which section/room they felt added the least to the narrative and could therefore be cut. These are the responses I got:


































From this feedback, and talking to my teacher who helped me conduct the screening of my film, I decided to cut the bathroom scene entirely. After doing this, my film was still over five minutes long, so I also went through each scene and cut some dialogue from each one. For my final draft I also speeded up the end text and took out the credits completely. I am going to submit both this version and the full version for marking.
