The moment of fantasy love

-dark when at the resturant
-colourful and saturated at the cinema and when she runs to seb
-wearing green and its in spring, new life and new love
-quite dark at the cinema but with some lights, still in the dark about each other as they're just starting out
-empty theatre, more intimate
-Footage from an old movie, nod to old cinema and old musicals
- classic 'old school' date with the hand holding
-constantly inturrupted, foreshadow that they can never live together forever

Is sat at his incredibly messy desk with piles of papers and empty fast food containers smoking a cigarette surrounded by papers and documents the office is dark and messy.

Short film analysis 2 Connect

This short film follows a woman on a bus at night in a busy city. The film uses eyeline matches to establish relationships between the man and the woman as the nature of their exchanged looks gives us a sense of a flirtatious relationship. When the elderly woman is shot for the bus seat by another passenger it shows that in society we always go the extreme. There is a shot of the woman we are following and the man from before' s hands, they obey the rule of thirds at first staying on other sides of the screen and not using the middle third. However they invade the central third but are separated by people getting off the bus, this could be representative of society impacts our relationships and comes between thigs we maybe are destined for. The synchronized movements at the end are also a testament to how society conditions people to be the same and just be part of a machine and crushes any individuality.

However we strayed from those idea and have decided to do a film about a psycho stalker who kills the subject of their obsession, it again has an element of s...
