Descendants

This short is awesome. it is very inspirational because it creates a great story from a simple thing as putting a mind on a plant that cannot move like a real plant. The style that is used in this short is something that I would like to create and I feel that it is very aesthetically pleasing. Having this art style really helps create an environment that you would like to be a part of or in. This also helps with the story I feel it makes it becoming more believable and also intriguing and creating a more believable story.

questions

What is it about movies and shorts that bring you in at the start and not just stop watching in the first minute? I feel that curiosity is one of the most important things for the view to have when watching a short so how do we create a short or movie that is interesting and make your audience have curiosity in your film? Opening scene you get a look at the environment where movie takes you in to the world of disbelief. Come in to your character, as the audience views they think, OK who is that? What are they doing? Why are they there? Is this the evil character? As you can see the audience is smashed in the face with all these questions when they start watching your film.  

It is inspirational because when creating a film if you do this well you make your characters your world believed by others make your audience feel something great from your film and that is a magnificent feeling to have.

Tooth Fairy Affair

This is something you do not see very much any more.  A good short with good hand drawn animation, this short is very intriguing. The way that the kid tries to get extra money by stealing his grandmothers false teeth and how it back fires on him badly. You create great empathy for this character and want him to get what he wants because, he puts such great effort in to how he goes about it and shows great dedication. In the end you know the character cannot succeed and must perish because what he has done is wrong. It is interesting that the way he is shown a lesson about stealing is by having something stolen from him.

The Artist

This is a good little short. It interesting that the way it misleads you in the ending and the outcome is completely different. when I was watching this short I felt that the meaning behind the story was going to be about how the art of today's society has changed to what it has become, in the way that they get bigger and bigger canvases to show up each other. The way they use the different techniques to paint form one brush to six brush's to a hole paint bucket. The way it ended was inspirational because they both create the same master peace that joins their work together to show that they are not so different.

Game of Thrones

Game of Thrones

My Dad started watching it and I was watching it with him. How is this so good? This is the third time I have watched them, I am still sucked in like I have never watched it. I feel that the reason the show is so addictive is due to a few simple rules. They don’t have anything on the screen as you watch that is not there to push the story forward. Also the characters inside the world of game of thrones all have empathy or you build great anger and hatred.  Another thing they also at the moment they keep everything very surreal and believable even though the story has dragons and other mythical creatures. They still hold seem to make the story believable and know their boundaries.

A Family Portrait

This style is quiet interesting for this short it worked really well.  The way they use the style to enhance the awkward moment when get your family photo taken. They also use the style to push the story in an aesthetically pleasing way. The way the father is meant to or is cheating on his wife, by pulling out his tie instead of having they are just lingerie but using the style to help the change of him thinking it would be a tie and it being the lingerie of what the wife was thinking makes the story work well with the style.

Ormie

This short is a good laugh. Watching this short reminds me of when I was a little boy when mum went out to do some shopping, the first thing that we used to do was go straight for the food we were not allowed to have. This short is interesting because it shows you that you can create a short story from anything. By just putting a spin on a simple memory like this can make something like this  good, by pushing the reality to a little fat pig and warping the perspective of the fridge makes it new and more entreating . Having great empathy towards the end of the short. The only really thing that I would change is that I would have something on the wall a bit more than a splash of paint on it. They could have made a small kitchen or something to help fill up the scene.
