Tight Jeans


'Tight Jeans' is a short film made in 2008. Instantly we know that it's set in London because of the opening score being very grimy, as well as the recognisable architecture. Each of the boys characteristics apply to the colour of their jumper - red=anger, orange=energetic, blue=calm/serious. These characteristics help give this film a sense of comedy despite quite a serious topic being discussed - the views on other cultures and races. The back and forth movement of the camera helps with the fluidity of the conversation as once they start talking there are few cuts. This is effective as the the dialogue plays a big role in this film as it takes place in only one location.

The Operator The short film starts with the operator taking a call from a mother trapped in a fire with her son. What we hear completely contrasts with what we see; we hear the mother frantically trying to get to safety, screaming for help, contrasted with the operators calm voice in a quiet room. This contradiction makes the audience question what's going to happen to the mother and her son. As not much is happening visually, it draws our concentration solely on what we're hearing to the point where we feel part of the conversation. We see the effect the phone call had on the operator when the phone call finishes leaving the audience with silence. We see the operators face slightly frozen, trying to take in what she just went through. This silence is heavily broken by another phone call, now she has to repeat everything she's just done.
