In this post is my groups final short film, the postcard we created and the film review of our film that I created.

Here is the link to our film Behind Blue Eyes:

 

 

 

Here is the poster for our film.

 Here is my film review in the style of Empire Magazine:

 

 

The review says:

'This unexpected film about friendship and the mistrust of those closest to you, demonstrates just how easily a child can fall through the cracks.

Capturing the audience’s attention from the opening titles it tells the story of Sophie, played by up and coming British talent Sammie Lovell, and her struggle to improve her maths. With twist and turns delicately placed throughout the plot you are always left guessing.

Similarly to the American movie ‘Trust’ the film circulates around the issues of sexual abuse and the mistrust of those closest to the main protagonist.  Trust’s writers Rob Festinger rgand Andy Bellin however steered their film down the more commercial  route of meeting someone online whereas Behind Blue Eyes uses a lesser talked about way of meeting an abuser by him already being situated in the girls life.

Told from the point of view of the assumed abuser Alan Thorne, played by another new British talent Connor Janes, the writer takes you on an emotional rollercoaster, with the audience never quite sure if he’s done what he’s being accused of. Sarah Roberts, although new to our screens, doesn’t let her co-stars talents overshadow her own with her outstanding portrayal of a fierce friend, loving daughter and helpless victim.'
