I Miss You
1. Film Review:
Based on the
Moonfruit Comic,
'Reasons', the
heartbreak of
moving on from a
relationship is
illustrated in ‘I
Miss you' by Nick L'Barrow's and Anton Sheptooha's romantic
short film.
With very little dialogue between the two protagonists, the
stages of their relationship is shown through a nostalgic lens and
somber piano music, chronologically highlighting the 4 stages of
young love - the first meeting and the honeymoon stage to the
constant bickering and the eventual end of it all. It also condenses
these memories into a fast paced montage with a narration voiced
by the male character. This leads the film away from the classical
plot of a romantic film, which normally concludes with a happy
ending, creating an aspect of voyage and return with the moral of
conveying and evoking the feeling of what it's like to miss
someone - affirming human experiences which establishes a
connection between the viewer and the film.
The varying depths of field of the protagonists and object as well
as music choice and cinematography guides the audiences attention
throughout to maintain focus on the emotions of the characters
and the meaning of the film.
All in all, 'I Miss You' is a short boy meets girl film with
2. connotations of a voyage and return that illustrates the
aftermath of a break-up.
