Short film review

This is the first short film that I found to watch, and the first one that I enjoyed the most when watching different ones, I feel this sort of fits in with what I am doing for my script and trailer, The main character likes to spend her time alone, although she may not be going through the hard struggles that my character is going through, I think the feel I get from this short film is what I feel when reading my script. Also the pace of the story goes well with my script, the pace that mine would be filmed in is quite slow with not so many jump cuts and the story that I wanted to tell is quite a sad one. The tone of the film is what I want to try and go for, I was trying to get quite a dull tone to my story because if I was to go for a bright tone then it would not go along with my story, so the tone of this film fits quite well. When I was researching this is what I wanted, from the start I was hoping to do quite an emotional story line. Watching 'Alone Time' has really helped me to see what I want to achieve from my script when It comes to filming my trailer and editing it together.

Even though this short film isnt really about what my story is about, there is still a sense of loss like there is in mine, the sense of lost is very different, as mine is a lost loved one who is no longer around and this short film is the loss of a relationship, I still get the same feeling. The main character describes everything he misses and we see what he misses the most. And even though there is no sense of depression I still feel that my story can relate to this one in many different ways. The way that the story is written is similar to mine is ways, there is a sense on loneliness and loss and that is exactly what I wanted to create with my script.

This short film 'Fireflies' relates to my script the most I believe, I feel this because the film is all about depression, the main character is talking about how she really feels and how she tried to get help, and even though in the end she took her own life she tried to get the help she needed. With Charlotte, she is on the verge of wanting to end her own life, but she gets the help she needs in time before anything can happen. When watching this short film, I feel this connects most to my script, this is how I want to feel when reading over my script, the feeling I get when I watch this short film, sadness, but hopeful that the main character gets helps.

I watched many more short films, but I feel these three connected most, they are all very different but portray the same thing, loss and sadness and that is what I wanted my script to bring, the sense of sadness and loss.
