Script for short film analysis
1. Script for short film analysis
We analysed a range of short films from different English speaking countries,
though through the research we found our concentration narrowing down on the
comedy genre, and specifically on romantic comedy.
Late Bloomer â comedy, coming of age film
The audience are positioned to sympathise with the protagonist of the piece
through the use of first person narration as technically speaking puts us in his
shoes and we see the mise en scene through his eyes. The inconsistency of the
voice of the narrator and the physical stature of the boy might have been used to
show passing of time and reminiscing of past events. It creates the atmosphere of
a predator about to pounce on his prey, the ominous voice describes the
perspective of the protagonist from a outwardly point of view.
The music positions the audience alongside the protagonist to recognise the
school teacher as a villain just as with Proppâs character types however she is
used for comic purposes as well with her explicit graphs on the female and male
reproductive systems.
The effective use of close ups and zooming in, in the principalâs office brings a
more sinister tone making him the ultimate villain whilst the school teachers is
more of a helper which educates the protagonist or the prince on the evils of
sexual awakening.
Struck â American romantic comedy
Struck has struck a gold mine when they unveil their star studded cast, fans of
American TV shows such as ââVeronica Marsââ or ââMy Name is Earlââ would not
need much encouragement after seeing the name of their favourite actors in this
brilliant story.
The warm and cold lighting gels make the working environment the
unwelcoming and brutal place for the protagonist while the dating world seems
full of possibilities and love for the singletons however for the protagonist his
heart is already occupied.
The use of ellipsis shows the passage of time.
The reoccurring song motif ââOver the Rainbowââ follows the main character,
making it his song theme song.
Memorize â action fantasy thriller
Memorize uses high quality of editing which kept the audience at the edge of
their seats. For a low budget short film they presumably spent most of their
funding on post-production and VFX.
The narrative very easily follows in the footsteps of iRobot or Hitman, as an
adaptation of a short story or a game.
The props are very realistic, with the advertising robot looking straight of out the
Star Wars franchise, aside from that the guns and the scanning device bring a
sense of high class reality which might have a frightening preposition for the
audience.
2. The use of tittles at the beginning of the film creates states the future as a matter
of fact information which enabling the audience to follow the future
advancements. This is a conventions of factual films based on real life stories
which gives the film a sense of truth and again reality.
The complementary soundtrack show how effective the use of music could be,
with its loud vibrant tones perfectly synchronised with the fast paced editing
creating an ominous tone from the start.
Minimal dialogue doesnât mean that the film will become uninteresting, which is
proved right here flooding the audience with other visual and audible effects
satisfying their cognitive needs of diversion and entertainment.
Inbox â Indian romantic comedy
This film of Indian origin portrays how hard it is to find love anywhere in the
world, no matter where you are from.
The oriental music brings to mind the rhythm of Bollywood films with elaborate
dancing segments and costumes.
The use of slow motion to portray the character inner happiness accompanied by
his dancing would definitely satisfy romantic comedy fans who would expect
some kind of embarrassment from one of the leads.
The positioning of a beautiful woman and a geeky man is a stereotypical take on
beauty and the beast and is an example of Levi Straussâs binary opposites. The
loveable fool with glasses, hairy chest positions the audience to root for him in
his pursuit of the model-like goddess.
Parallel editing allows the audience to follow both charactersâ actions. The
montage of the man dressing up to impress the woman creates comic timing.
Transitions are essential to suggest the passing of time.
The tragedy of ripping the bag is exaggerated with the audience asking Barthâs
hermeneutic and proarietic codes throughout such as will they meet?, how is the
red bag working?, and will he be able to fix it? It engages with the audience to sit
throughout the film to find out.
The Desk â American romantic comedy
The Desk appeals to its target audience of American teenagers, setting the action
in a high school which they will be able to relate with its social cliques of jocks
and cheerleaders.
The ideology is that
The preferred reading of the audience would be that the protagonist ultimately
finds love as we are positioned to sympathise with him by the use of the
instrumental music.
The filmâs narrative follows the linear structure with the film starting at the
beginning of action, following the action chronologically and finishing at a point
of conclusion.
The extended narrativeâs Todorovâs theory of equilibrium is subverted here with
the story beginning at a disruption of the boyâs life coming to a new school which
is followed with a recognitionof his loneliness where he carries out a
communication with the use of the desk which brings repaired however there is
a return of disruption because he is unable to meet that person as a result of a
4. pictorialismwhile their meeting indoors is lit using low key lighting, relaying on
focusing and
Inspired by Christopher Nolanâs Memento with the male character using the
notepad and the camera to capture memories leaves unanswered ambiguities to
the end which correspond the audience with Barthâs hermeneutic and proairetic
questions.
Awake â drama/horror
Awake is the only short film revived which has physical features of an amateur
production because of its low budget.
The use of voice over to narrate the story shows gives the first person
perspective of the main character and positions the audience to sympathise with
the main character and his isolation from the world.
Continuity editing creates a linear narrative.
The use of newspaper article gives reality to the whole story and again asks
Barthâs hermeneutic and proairetic questions of is he dead?, what does this
mean, whatâs the sense of the story?
