2. SOUND
The beginning music used creates a magical
effect suggesting that something out of the
ordinary would be about to take place.
The sounding when Anna is choosing an outfit
to get ready is similar to those on art
programmes when looking through what
people have painted and entered in. This
creates the idea that choosing an outfit is an
art form and something women take pride in
so would do anything in order for her body to
be the right shape for an outfit.
3. SOUND
The sound of the water dripping in the
background when Anna realises she can
reform her face creates tension for the
audience as it is clear that she may use this
ability to a large extent.
Finally, the music used during the reforming of
this character is similar to sounds of women
who dance in burlesque in the 60’s with small
waists and long legs which suggests that, that
is the body type which Anna may want to be
changing into.
4. EDITING
The are many cut-ins to the moth which is used to
forebode many ideas. This included when it flies
over to the magazine of a model suggesting that
this is what she will try to create on her own face
now she is able to mould it.
There are many different lengths of shots however
when Anna is completed her moulding and waiting
to meet her date, the shot is very long to show
that sometimes you may want something and
believe it will make you happy but it doesn’t.
5. CAMERA
The main shot type when looking at parts of
Anna’s body are close-ups to show the
audience what she looks like at the moment
and is just a normal looking sized woman. The
close-ups are also used during the moulding at
the mirror to show exactly how much she is
changing her body for the worse. The camera
the pans out during the revealing of her whole
body to prove to the audience that even
though you think your body will look good with
some changes, but actually it looks worse.
6. CAMERA
On many occasions during the film, the
camera follows the moth around the room to
suggest that wherever it is going will be
important for the audience to watch. One time,
the moth went to a plaque stating a moral
which concludes that this short film was made
in order for the audience to understand that
your body is the way it is for a reason and is
shouldn’t be played around with.
7. MISE-EN-SCENE
The bedroom is created well with props that a
woman would use at her age however, the
bathroom is very dull with flickering lights
which creates tension as it is clear that Anna is
about to play around with her body.
The weather when Anna is with her date
outside is very sunny to suggest that due to
her going back to her old self, she is at her
prettiest and the man she is with finds her
attractive the way she is.
