A boy, left to do housework by his mother, has only one point in the day that brings a smile to his face.

Whilst on holiday in France this Summer I wanted to make a film with a French feel and something a bit more serious than things I've done in the past (although, ultimately, the story is a bit cliché).

I was out there for two weeks and this idea was fully conceived after the first week and then second week was spent trying to get all of the necessary shots. (This proved to be difficult due to a number of factors far beyond my control!)

My aim during production was to tell a story that wouldn't lead an audience through completely my the nose but rather to allow you to draw your own conclusions about the events shown onscreen as well as those before and after.

Hopefully I've succeeded in making something enjoyable and I would love to hear some feedback to this :)

Hey thanks Matt! Probably not much that you didn't already know, and I do understand it was your vacation so bringing a light kit would be unusual. If you want to know more you can always start a topic. Have a wonderful day!

Thanks for that Unfortunately I don't have a light kit and even if I did I probably wouldn't have taken it with me on holiday Light through windows is something that I'll have to look out for in the future, I understand what you mean about it looking a bit less refined. Thanks again for the suggestions, they're useful tips! +1

@Biblmac, I completely agree with the light spill through the windows, unfortunately a limitation of the exposure settings on my camera I could have done with a light kit for some of the indoor scenes. Would you have any tips about avoiding harsh lighting?
The only two options I can see is: 1)Avoid windows. Or avoid shots of windows where the light coming from the window is brighter than the subject, for instance if the subject is close to the window and the light is spilling on him, the subject and the window should be generally the same so it shouldn't be as bad. 2)A lighting kit. I don't know if you have one or not but that is the only other option I can see. If you light the inside just as bright as the outside you wont' get that spill. I really did like what you did! I thought it was very well done. I think if the spill from the windows was avoided (somehow) it would have looked a bit more professional... But that is just me.
