Movie Analysis

The first idea that we researched was the one that we chose for our 5 minute short film. This video here is the same genre, which is a kind of 'love drama' film. The thing I like the most in this film is the way they communicate by using post-it notes. The female character has earphones in which gives off the feeling that she is only using post-it notes because she is listening to music. At the end of the film you discover that she is communicating via post-it notes because she is deaf. This is interesting because it is an unusual twist.



There are various different types of shots in our film. Some similar to the one I am analysing now. Here is an example of a medium long shot at an eye level angle. These are the shots that our film will mainly involve. There are also various close ups in the film as well as match on action shots.




The photo shown below is the title sequence which we would like to use in our film. I like this because it is very detailed and very well drawn out and reflects how good the actual 5 minute film is.




The sound on this film is both diegetic and non-diegetic. It's diegetic when the man is talking to the woman. And it's non-diegetic as there is music playing in the background which only the viewers can hear. There is music playing through all the way through which only the viewers can hear. The diegetic sounds are when the man is talking to the woman. He can hear is own voice which makes it diegetic. It is still diegetic even though the female character cannot hear him speaking as she is deaf.


The characters wear different items of clothing each time they meet so it gives it a more realistic feeling and it is not repetitive. The man always wears a shirt with the top button undone, which may reflect his personality of being a boring person with no change in his daily routine. The girl on the other hand wears different types of clothing each time they meet. On one day she'll have a skirt and cardigan on, the next some jeans and a top and then on another day she'll be wearing a dress. This could also reflect her personality of being a person that likes change, perhaps.
