The document discusses the use of sound, editing, camerawork, and mise-en-scene in a short film about a woman named Anna who discovers she can reshape her face and body. The beginning music sets an unusual tone. Sounds are used to suggest Anna's outfit choice is an art form and that reshaping her body could have negative consequences. Editing with cut-ins of a moth foreshadow events and ideas, and shots vary in length to convey messages. Camerawork uses close-ups to show Anna's original appearance and changes, with pans out revealing the negative effects. The moth guides the audience's view. Mise-en-scene creates tension in the dull bathroom as Anna experiments with her body, while

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

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.
