Analysing films

Film 1 : Post it love 

The setting in this film is the office which is typical for most short films even as their opening. This is effective as it lets the audience know where this film is taken place and it gives a sort of idea what the film would be about.

 Another convention is in this film is the theme. This short film has the romance theme and at 0.30 onwards the audience can see that these two are in sync and from 0.40 they both try to catch each other looking at the same time. The director has used this to allow the audience to see that this is about romance and that the two workers are clearly trying to get each others attention.

The lighting in this film is high key because the colours are shown very clearly and its very bright. The director has used this effectively to show the viewers this film is a romance and nothing dangerous will happen in it as its just two people trying to get each others attention by using post its.

Another convention in this film is the twist. At 2.27 the main character has made a big gesture and created a portrait of the both of them to surprise her and she was left shocked when she. saw what he had done. The director has effectively use this for the audience so when the audience and the female character saw this they feel the cute moment and would be feeling really giddy.

Another convention is the characters. As you can see in this short film there is only 2 main characters that are involved in this. The director has used this effectively as he had pay an Impact on the viewers as this short film shows the romance between the 2 people 

Film 2 : INSIDE

The convention used in this short film would be the characters as you can see from 2.55 onwards the characters are on different sides of the room and there are multiple characters who are all different as they are all struggling with split personality.This convention is effective as it lets the audience know who the main characters are.

Another convention would be the twist in the film as the women who are the main character is talking to could be the therapist at 4:40 or it could be them speaking to a random voice that he has made up in his mind. The director has effectively used this as the audience would not have expected it as they would think it was a real person.

The lighting in this short film toward the end has stayed at a low key lighting as they are inside a mental hospital so there wouldn't be colourful lights and bright lighting and everyone is not happy in there so it has to be set as a dull tone.

Another convention is themes and this one is a sort of mystery as around 0.50 the audience can see all the main characters as they are walking with a lot of people that were not there before and soon we realise that those people are his multiple personalities that he has and this impacts the audience as they can now see what happens next and where he goes. with all these personalities.

FILM 3: LUXO JR

The first convention of this short film would be the setting. This short film setting looks like it is in a dark room and the pixar light is on a desk or a table and this just lets the viewers know where the short film is taking place.

Another convention is the theme. the theme for this short film would be animation as all the actions and objects are animated they have used a stop motion style to create this animated look for the film.

The lighting is another convention and here we can care that there is low-key lighting which is used to create the bright effect of the lamp so it stands out next to the mini lamp.
