Short Film Responses

The Forgotten Hit
The Forgotten is a short film from an undergraduate students from the Leeds film school. I thought the film was quite compelling although i felt the sound track could of been a bit more exciting. With the lack of dialog, the film heavily relied upon the soundtrack and i thought it was bland, although, the use of an effects bass-drum to replicate the sound of a heart beat was quite effective.

Indecision
I really liked the camera effects this film and the pure question of how they done it still baffles me. The effect done very well to capture the Topsy-turby feeling of being indecisive - something that i personally can relate to. I thought the use of setting how the man was in the woods and the woman was on the beach, and the contrast between those two places was very effective. The pure look of the film and the classy style was also something that was really appealing to watch.

Farewell to Charlie Power
Out of all the short films I've watched today, this one was definitely my favourite. Despite the quite sad and upsetting story line, there was something very charming about the setting in the village; also some lovely characters, i particularly enjoyed the character of the police woman. The film raised some quite serious issues about mental health and also how people react to it with some jokey and playful undertones to ease the serious and difficult issue - all of which was approached very well.
