1. Was the meaning/aim of the film obvious?
I felt the film highlighted the lack of awareness around eating disorders and how the younger people interviewed had little to say on the subject.
The film being based on eating disorders clearly was trying to raise awareness of it. It also showed the lack of knowledge most people in the film had of eating disorders.
Weightless made me realise how little awareness I have of eating disorders, the message of the film was definitely effective for me.
2. What would you improve about the film?
The sound was a little patchy in places. Background noise disrupts the interviews a bit.
The sound quality varied throughout the film, perhaps more male opinions would make it more effective.
I liked the film as it was, perhaps a few less similar opinions but that couldn’t necessarily be helped.
3. Did you find the filming effective?
The close ups helped showed the emotion and sincerity of the interviews.
The variety of angles and steady shots definitely made the film look more professional.
There were very few parts of the film where the shots were shaky; this made it look of a higher standard.
4. What did you like about the film?
I liked how the film attempted some different viewpoints as opposed to other documentary style films.
The film was short but definitely effective with its message.
I liked how it had a personal impact on me and made me realise how uneducated I am on such subjects within mental health.
