Introduction to A2- short films

Blog task 1 - short films

I am charlotte hall, a student at prior pursglove college in guisbrough, who I studying media as one of my courses. I have began this blog to keep an update on how I am doing throughout the year. Throughout the year I will be learning about short films and the development of one, and will be creating one also in a few months time, I will be then writing an exam about some other topic for this course, and hopefully will then progress onto university.

This is spin. It is a short film about a man using his music (decks) to stop bad things from happening from the people across the street. I rate this film a 5/10. It was a bit boring due to the fact it was repeating the same things with opening the briefcase ect. But overall it was good to watch. I particularly liked the rewinds. You could tell from the film that It would have taken a lot of editing and going over things to make the rewinds possible and to change every time but over all it could of been better, but it was okay.



This is Telling Mark, a story about a group of friends who try to distant themselves from a man. We don't know the idea behind what is going on at first, we just think the friends are being weird. We see from the use of the lighting that the mood changes, when the gingery women, states that his wife is not their but in fact the car crash he had, she was in the passenger seat and her and the baby had died. he comes to the realisation of this, and the dark room lightens. I rate this film a 7/10, because I like the way its built up, and shows how the mood changes. You could tell from the film that I was thought about cleverly and yet was quite simply filmed with not that much of a varies of shots.



This is inside. It is s a short film, about a mental patient that has loads of alter egos, in his head. He has them speaking for him and makes him go insane, it talks about his life and how he may be getting let out. At first we suspect he is talking to the women nurse about what's going on. But we realise that in the end, the women is also in his head to. The man who walks in, at the end is the actual nurse not the women. She is also in his head, which is how he can speak to others and shout. I rate this film a 8/10/ because even though it is short, its cleverly done ,with all the voices and the women and man at the end. This film is done really good, from when the insane man gets out of his cell and we can see the people at the sides of him before he goes into the room.




I belive people enjoy short films, because it shows a range of creativity that can be shot into a film that is no longer sometimes than 5 minuites. It shows skills and different arangements in just a short amount of time.'I think this is a great short film ,as it has a lot of excitement even though its only on for  minutes. I rate this a 8 1/2 out of 10.
