A TV Movie
The first film that i picked from depicT is called A TV movie made in 2009 by Daniel Faigle. I really liked the animation concept. How the TV was in fact A living thing. It creates a message to the audience that there is more to life than sitting inside and watching TV when there is more to do outside. To begin with the TV is placed in the wall out of the way of everything, it then begins to unplug itself from the wall and positions itself in front of a mirror so that the TV can see its own screen . after Getting comfy the TV drops its remote this makes it position next to a window where the TV is watching the people go by. After a while the chair is then moved so its position next to the window as the TV has a comfy view of the outside. I really like the message this gives, and how people can enjoy the outside rather than sitting in and watching Television. I also liked the use of sound effects during the film, they really did fit the movement.
A Tape
The second film i picked is called A tape made in 2015 by Freya Walker Smith.I really liked that Freya Smith filmed a man making a film using film strips. I really enjoyed that the film didn't use much dialogue but used facial expressions and the sound of the film reel. This film is about an old man who continues to make films by using a film camera instead of a digital, where he rips or cuts the film the edit. Throughout the short film he makes his film complete.
One shot that i thoroughly enjoyed was when the old guy cuts the first strip of tape to add another shot in. The short film showed that this mans job is a filmmaker and prefers to use film instead of digital. It also shows how using a film camera to a digital is harder but the outcome could look just the same.
Candy Crime
The Third shot film i picked is called Candy Crime made in 2011 by Ben Jacobson. Out of the three films i have chosen this would be my best pick. This film is about a group of young teenagers who look like they are up to a crime, when they convince a girl to give the leader a lollipop in exchange for a key charm. After receiving the lollipop the young girl pulls out a larger lollipop the leader of the gang gets annoyed and pulls a gun on the little girl, the girl sees the gun and exchanges the lollipop for the gun and the group of young teenagers walk away. I really like the use of camera movement, none of the camera movement was shaken or wobbly and really flowed well with the few still shots they used. My favorite clip from the short film was actually the ending credit sequence. They were very different and unique and really flowed with the use of camera movement that was used during the short film.
Here is screenshot of the ending sequence the camera then moves slowly down showing who edited and who starred in the short film. It worked really well.
Another thing that i liked was that everything was in black and white and the lollipops that the girl had were in colour. I really liked this because it showed that everything that was in black and white was less important that what was actually in colour. It also showed that the girl had more power than the group of boys.
I love how original the film was it showed that having a gun doesn't always result in gang violence.
