2. Screenshots
The start of the short film shows a “noise” screen before
fading into the title part of the film.
The title fades similarly to the first screen of the noise.
In the background we see the main character dancing
The dancing used is not the style of dance that would
stereotypically be used in the 70’s (almost 80’s)
however this is what I like about these shots of her
dancing.
The shots used of Emily and Thomas dancing establish
a connection straight away
3. There is a sense of disequilibrium when “Emily and
Thomas” have a stumble. This is very common in films. The scene in which the winner is announced is very
unrealistic as there is no one else in the theatre when it
is trying to be made to be seen that way.
The kiss between the two main characters is very
realistic. This is a few years later and the
connection is finally made.
4. The time jump works really well and
you know straight away these are
the two characters from before and
they have lived a long happy life
together.
It is made clear that the previous dance shot
was a dream and Emily is now too ill to dance.
Overall, the short film is very convincing and
realistic and makes the viewer feel emotion.
