Like/Dislikes of analysed films and what can be used in my production

'Sold'- likes: Linear narrative, circular narrative i also like the camera work as the grainy effect and the raw footage add such an effect to the clip. The titles having a score that suited the theme or emotion of the clip.

I like the themes that underlie in the short film as it sends a message out in a subtle way.

Dislikes- subjective narrative, and purpose to bring fame and self promotion.

'Double take'-Likes: the linear narrative with the non linear components the plot twist and circular narrative, furthermore i liked the kinetic camera work and raw footage for the realism effect with that washed out filming effect. Yet again i liked the themes the fact it sends a message out to the audience. The purpose of exploring an issue to build awareness i think is the best purpose of a short film alongside ones for educational purposes.

Dislikes- no dialogue makes it the story seem dull and was very predictable.

'Cherries'-likes: objective narrative, the silence at the end credits as it was a sad situation , yet again the themes of this short film interest me like the aggression between males, national service, war and the youths of today. the purpose sends a strong message across.

'Sign Language'-likes: the fact its a 'mocumentry', the hand held camera work for the realism. the whimsical theme.

Dislikes- the purpose of self promotion and fame

'Veronique'-likes: voice over, the titles and themes of the teenage crush.

'Ten minutes'-likes: linear with non linear elements the objective narrative, the circular narrative, the colours to represent the mood, the dialogue throughout, italian score representing the culture of the short film, the themes ; war, poverty, class segregation, family and love. Finally purpose to send a public message across.

Through the analysis of the short films, it gave me ideas and concepts that id introduce into my production like id like my short film to have a linear narrative that may contain non linear elements. Furthermore id rather have a objective narrative rather that a subjective narrative because id rather make the viewers more interested in the clip than focus on one character. Additionally i would like to incorporate a circular narrative with a plot twist as this is common with most short films as its short in length it needs a twist. 

I was inspired by the hand held camera work in 'Sign Language' i like the raw footage to give a sense of realism and would like to do that in my film. From watching 'Veronique' i will have a voice over in my production with the antagonist narrating the story as a twist.

My purpose have been taken more from '10 minutes' or 'Cherries' to send a educational message across make the public be aware of a clear issue.

I would not have on set dialogue as short films are low budget so the camera's sound quality would not be great. Furthermore unlike 'Sign Language' i would not film on a busy road more home filming with some outside set filming. Using one character makes the short film more boring so ill avoid keeping one character as focus.
