Short Films textual analysis

SNAP Director – ManoloCeli.



Music cuts out when kids skipping, comic effect. Music then returns after photographer and tourist appear in the frame. There is upbeat music throughout the film, however it is relaxed at the start. When the action begins, its builds up in pace. It uses electric guitars and drums, sounding a little like rock music almost. The main character is nearly always in the centre of the frame showing he is most important, he is the artist.The cafe is a casual setting, and easy to relate to. The streets are too. It was filmed in Florida. His clothing is average too, they change through the shots when he is running and changing corners. It symbolises a change in time, showing a new person. It shows the audience that he has done that kind of thing before. There is what looks like a camera bag on his back, showing he is perhaps a photographer. The film pace shifts from slow motion at some points./ Such as when they run through the pigeons. Over head shot was used in the gallery, showing people admiring his photographs of angry people. In the credits, it shows him training on a tread mill, he has sports achievements on his wall, and hockey stick, showing he was ready to take those photos. The shot then fades out of the shot, ending the story.

Overall it is an artistic film with excellent shots and composition.
