Do you feel that a Cert15 is appropriate for this film?

• Yes, I think it could get away with a 12 but because of the “dead body’ I think the 15 is more appropriate

• No gore, but because of the likelihood of violence, I think it is correct

• There is the possibility for drug use and violence, so yes

Do you think that the camera work is appropriate?

• A good variety of angles and lengths of shots

• Yes, but the scene with the “dead body” seemed too static because it is quite long

• Yes

• I’m not sure there as any other any other way to shoot it

Does the trailer give away the correct amount of information for the film?

What improvements could be made overall?

• The “green screen” from the MPAA is a bit fuzzy, maybe find a clearer one

• I really liked it; it reminds me a lot of RocknRolla
