Short Film Reviews

Brian Percival-About A Girl
As she walks along the canal she is explaining the story of her life.
Shaky hand held camera to show the common look.
Refers to the baby like the dog.
At the end birds eye view, then a camera looking up.
Leading up to a big ending.
Continuous editing along the canal.
Shocking message.
Challenging the innocence of little girls.

Telling Lies-Simon Ellis-2000
Clever editing, hear different to what text you are reading.
Only plain black background, so all the focus is on the text.
Have to pay attention the whole time.
Text is colour coded to each person.
Title enters screen as if it is texted.
Sound is also as it is being dialled.

Jim Gillespie-Joyride-1995 
Dark lighting and the music are key conventions of a horror story.
Lots of close up shots, to make it scarier.
Lots of shots that could not be seen, left to your imagination and small images such as dripping blood to keep to the scary theme of horror.
