Gone goodbye





The short film was very interesting the way the voice over covers the whole scenes of the man driving through a long rainforest.It presents how he is fading away from his past by traveling.I also liked the background music in which suited the scene as very depressing and also mathced with the tone of the voice over.The setting of the short film seem very fantasy like and just a great area to present a scene of someone who has lost someone that was close to them.The scene presented an empty feeling for the man.

The story provided me to have the intention to know where the man was going to,of course the first part that i really wanted to questionned is what is going?

The character seem very humble and depressed however i really like the way he has the regret of all the past he shared with his close one because it represent him as very caring and also thoughtful.I liked the way the person visited to an unkown empty area to relax and to free their mind from any stress.

The cinematography in the short film was fantastic the way thre first portion attracted the audience to seek more refuge of where the film leads to at the end.The camera angle was very effective at the beggining showing as birds eye view.The way they used the presentation of the balloon to symbolise the mans wife was very effective especially the way the balloon popped actually provdided me a surprise and also presents how her wife is basicvally vanished.The most important technique i liked was when the baloon popped the letter that the man was covering the voice over was actually the dialogue that he first spoke over with.
　
　
　
　
The elevator









The short film was absolutley hilarious,just amazing of how they put a basic story into a great short comedy.The film was very funny of how the situation was constantly getting worse.The elevator music was just hilarious of how every floor it stopped the music starts,which just creates an annoying mood for the man who is waiting in the elevator.It provides some sympathy for the poor man who is tapped in a serious situation where he may of died because of the weight capactity of the elevator.However you then realise that he is very paranoid and actually manages to escape a serious situation but yet again gets involved with the worse of all.

Overall the story attracted me with their presentation of comedy,in which provides you the intention of how does the man escapes the situation and how does he feel being in that situation consider that its very hilarious of people react if they were in that particular incident.

the character seemed very moody and also paranoid,what i liked was the paranoia that he had of actually calculating the weight capacity of the elevator.The man is very generous of actually keeping his harsh comments to himself but manages to escape but still has the patience while entering the elevator full of swine flu.

The cinematography of the short film seemed very basic but was used in a more complex way of representing comdey.The camera shots was basic but very effeicent at use and also the editing of presenting the fat man as a massive danger was very hilarious.Therefore the short film manage to present a person in an elevator but adding a situation in which could happen however with the additional aspect of comedy.
