Audience Interpreation and Feedback

To me the tears being coloured red was representative of anger, the red marks left by the red tears a sign of emotional scaring left from past events. The poppy signified remembrance – the end of something old and start of something new. - Anonymous

 

Really nicely lit/filmed. Reminded me a little of Matthew Barney – something about the way its symbolism seemed very stylised & alienating, if that makes any sense.. - Tristan Rogers

 

The beginning of the end, fear and acceptance. The flowers represent the purity and beauty of life and death. Very dark Jim lol, thanks for the nightmares in advance. - William Napier

 

Awesome stuff , the way you pick out the tears is brilliant and really captures attention, beautifully lit. To me it means a turning away from the (frivolous?) beauty of the flower into a darker more emotional place. It left me wanting to know more – which I suspect was your intention - Neil Atkin

 

When I was watching this I got an almost icy feeling. There is good contrasting between the bright and dark giving it a very cold tone, which brings me to music ! The music in my opinion is what really sells this. It builds up great levels of suspense to the viewer pulling them in and closing off the world that surrounds them ! To put it blunt I thought it was brilliant mate ! Great work ! – Danny Paul Stanley-Clarke
