Week5 Internet Short Film -2

This short film is really cool in that it is based on the genre of n0ir (which we learnt in the week 4 lecture as being stylish Hollywood crime dramas of the 40’s). I like how it is in black and white and captures that 40’s vibe, with the use of costumes and design. It makes it look old school chic.


The use of close-ups in the beginning of the film depicts the male lead in internal conflict with himself. There are a lot of varied shots which it cuts to, with the lead remembering certain events of war. It shows his struggle with adapting as his past experiences still hunt him.

To express his emotions, he turns to dance.

The music again, keeps with the time of the 40’s, using old school big band music.
