The Most Beautiful Thing
1) I believe that this film is very creative because of the lack of speaking. Due to one off the main character being depth a lot of the feeling in this film comes from facial expression and movement from the actor's. As well as that I am a fan of the idea that the boy in the film is to nervous to write down his feeling and the girl can't express them because she is way to nervous to speak.
2) The setting in this short film is all centred around the bench that the two main characters meet at out side of school. There are scenes in witch you see both of them, in school, there bedroom, and in the street but the bench is the main setting in this movie. The bench is a very good setting as it is a quite peaceful place where both characters can express there affection for one another and grow there friendship.
3) The costumes for this film were very simplistic and plain. Because it was a American school that the film was based on there 'school uniform' is just plain cloths so the costume was very boring. I feel because the boy was a nerd he was not wearing any branded cloths and didn't really fit in to any fashion categories, where as the young girl wore quite fashionable cloths as well as a 'cool' rucksack. To reinforces the fact the boy is lonely and a nerd he was wearing glasses and had a laptop caring bag.
4) This films genre was definitely a love film. Both characters are outcasts and don't have many friends and struggle in social situations so it understandable that they would fall in love with each other. The other small genre in the film is jealousy, the boy got jealous when he saw someone els flirting with 'his girl' but did not trust her enough to listen to her side of the story.
5) The editing in this movie is very clean and slick and works very well.
6) This Short film uses any camera shots and may different angles. For example it uses hots such as an over the shoulder shot, many different close ups, establishing shots and wide shots. The reason they might have used all these different types of shots is because seeing the character from a range of angles helps keep the viewer gripped on the scene. With a lot of the shots the camera is shaky and not fully forced on the character witch could of been avoid if they had used a tripod.
7) I really like the consept of this movie I believe that the idea is very unique and it is very well done. I feel tho that there could have been more character development on both characters I feel that I didn't know enough about each of them to really feel much when they announce there love for one another.
8) There isn't much sound in this piece there is very little music added over the movie and if it is it is there just to fill gaps where there are silences. The music that was applied was applied very well, used in the scenes where the main characters where communicating via not book.
9) Casting
I Miss You
1) This short film is very creative because there is no speaking between characters only the voice over form the man in the film. I am a fan of the idea that he is telling a story and the movie in the background reflects what he is saying. As well as that the idea that what he is saying is a spoken version of an email he is sending to his ex.
2) There are many different locations in this movie due to the fact it is based on a story that is being told. Some of the location are the party they met at, the movies, a lake and there are many different shots in and around the house of the main character.
3) The costumes in this movie are very representative of the modern day person as it is set in the present. For example both male and female change outfits from scene to scene but both keep up with modern day factions and trends.
4) This piece is definitely a love story showing us the beauty of relationships but also showing the hardship of a break up and the pain it can leave people in. I think this type of movie works with the genre because you don't need to hear the speaking to know that there in love you can see it from the movement and the facial expressions of the characters.
5) Editing
6) The director used many different camera shot during this piece due to the fact of the setting consistently changing. For example during the oping scene there is a close up of the characters to sort of introduce them but as the movie continues there are wide shots, over the shoulder shots and '2 shots'.
7) I really liked this movie due to the fact that is it short and snappy. For example there is no speaking potween each character only the voice over which cuts out a lot of un needed dialog. I don't really like the ending though I feel they director could have done more with it.
8) During this movie there is no direct speaking potween characters only the voice over describing what is happening and telling us the story. While he is speaking there is music playing in the background but only very silently but it helps when there is breaks in the speaking.
