This document analyzes and summarizes the techniques used in a film extract to represent social groups and create atmosphere. It discusses the use of close-ups, movement, music, lighting contrasts between indoor and outdoor scenes, and montage sequences to disorient the audience. Stereotypical horror film tropes like a young blonde female victim lost in the woods are also employed. The analysis highlights how techniques like fast-paced camerawork, loud music, confusing shots and flashing images put the audience on edge and build tension throughout the extract.
The document discusses how the filmmaker used and challenged conventions of short films and romantic comedies in developing their short film "Fluent in Love".
Some conventions that were used include a cyclical narrative structure, conventional camera shots like two shots and close-ups, diagetic sound, and a film poster featuring a two shot of the characters in red font.
Some conventions that were challenged include using plain credits without an ident, more inventive shots like extreme close-ups of objects, manipulated editing techniques, and non-diagetic music at the end. Overall the filmmaker aimed to have an independent and lighthearted style while still following some traditional conventions.
The document discusses how the author's short film uses conventions of real media to tell its story. It follows Todorov's theory of cyclical storytelling. The main characters start alone and end alone in equilibrium. The film introduces a disturbance in the form of "the girl" character.

His meeting and inability to communicate with the French girl propels him back to his starting solitary state, creating a comedic cyclical narrative structure.
