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.

'Slap' is a short by Nick Rowland. It's a coming of age about a teenage male boxer who finds freedom in expressing himself with make up and female clothing. Throughout, the boy is trying to construct his own version of masculinity, which is a topic that pervades throughout the film. The camera is mainly placed with the boy, showing his own journey. By doing this, the audience is forced to acknowledge the main topic of this film.

'Over' is a short by Jorn Threlfall, made in 2015. It uses reverse chronological storytelling in order to reveal the incidents that caused a crime scene. The use of diagetic sounds and no dialogue keeps the audience intrigued in whats happening, and it also keeps the audience take part in unravelling the story. The use of only using static shots, too, helps the audience try unravel what happened themselves. The use of long lasting shots with wide shots creates a lot of tension too as it makes the audience expect something to happen, however it does also make the narrative slow to develop.
