- I particularly like the way that there is very little speech and music over the top. I was just going to use all instrumental music and no speech, but I like the way speech has been used her in very specific and meaningful places, to evoke emotion from the audience
- I like how the story is based around two people mainly, but through the perspective of one in particular. This is the way I would like mine to be. (Through the eyes of the bride to be.) I think this was to make sure the audience were fully engaged in their relationship, without distracting them with other characters and other story lines
- I really like the lighting in this film. It gives the whole thing a really realistic look, whereas if lots of high key, bright lighting was used, it would look more set up and unrealistic. I want to include this into my own film.
- I like the use of the hand held camera in parts, as it shows more of a point of view of the character and the audience empathise for him, as well as it feeling again, more realistic and more like a documentary in some ways that a film.
- I like the way that despite the fact there is instrumental music throughout, you can still hear diegetic sound over the top. For example, people's conversations, the train passing, opening a locker. I might consider this is mine. This was probably used to provide an overall atmosphere and to give the audience that space and time to feel emotion towards to narrative and the characters
- I like that the narrative storyline behind it is really interesting and unique and has a meaning behind it.
2. Definitely Maybe
- I like the way that it is based around one character and we follow him around and see his life. By doing this, the audience relate to him more and form a relationship with him. This is what I am to have with my main character
- I dislike the editing in the way that there is a noise between a lot of cuts and it draws the attention away from the action/narrative. I would avoid this in mine as I wouldn't want the audience to be distracted from the main narrative.
- I like the use of flashbacks and the blur used here and I will definitely be using this in my film. The blurring is used for dramatic effect and to make transitions smoother- also to show the passing of time
- I disliked the way that it was very slow and seemed to take a long time for anything to happen. Because of it being a short film, it should really have less of a back story and more action in my opinion. But sometimes a very slow beginning is used to give the audience time to follow the narrative and form a relationship with the main character.
- At the start, I like the style of music as it adds a very nostalgic tone to the film and I would like to find something similar to feature in mine. The music is used just the way speech would be, as both have the power to evoke emotion
- I dislike the way at some points, especially during the flashbacks at the beginning, the heads of the characters were cut off and it seemed like nothing fit right within the frame. I think this was intentional, however, it seemed off putting and I would avoid that. I think this was used to draw attention to the action that was happening, rather than the emotion of the characters
3. An Ordinary Day
- Similar to the first one, I really like the way the narrative is interesting and unique and has a meaning. I like the way it is kind of teaching a valuable lesson to the audience
- I really liked the wide variety of camera angles, from close ups to POV shots, it keeps the film interesting but still runs smoothly. I would like to make sure I include a wide variety of necessary camera angles and shots
- I like the repetition of the waking up scene and how the sound is exactly the same but the camera angle differs. It helps to show a change in time and I would consider using this kind of repetition in my film
- I like the use of natural lighting as it makes everything look more realistic- I would definitely use a lot of natural lighting
- I like how the cuts and transitions are very simple and lets the film flow well without pulling the attention away from the narrative. This is something I would have to be careful with, as too many transitions and varieties of cuts could make the film look messy and unprofessional and hard to follow
