Effective short films.

This short film captured my attention because it was filmed completely differently from other films. What I found extremely appealing was the fact the film was back to front, so we found out the ending before the beginning. The opening left us asking questions like 'why is he in such a rush to tell her everything' and 'why the strong heartbeat in the background' this all became more clearer when we found out the beginning of the story. There was no dialogue in this short, which made us watch the film & subtitles more closely. This film pointed out everyones faults and showed how it is so easy to fix, this can be the subtitle message to everyone. Don't wait until the last minute to tell someone something you've always wanted too.







This short film has one audience pleasure which made is the success it is. That audience pleasure is laughter, everyone likes a laugh therefore drawing in a wide audience. The editing of the running was done really, each cut showed a different location and it made sense due to all the twists and turns he had experienced. Another reason why it might be effective is how it can relate to so many people. Calling someone with long hair 'bieber' is what alot of people do, this allows the audience to connect with the protagonist. Also, it seemed so serious and we didn't know what had quite gone on at the begining, but because of the ending. It makes it clear what he attempted to do before the scene was shot.




This short film is quite similar to the other one. This leaves questions at the end such as 'I wonder if they have a dispute over it' and 'Why didn't he just sat no offense'
Another audience pleasure is the comedy in it, the dialouge all makes sense and focuses more on the camera and editing more than anything else. The editing makes the cuts all look snappy are realistic, the continuity is perfect. The camera shows all convosations from both of the guys view. Which allowed us to see how they both react to the convosation, this added to the humour because some of the reactions would be very unlikely in real life but makes us laugh. Another reason why this is effective because its very simple, just like the others but keeps us interested even though its a simple idea.
