MixTape

 

 

 

                                                                                                   The director used a close up here of the boy thinking about the reaction of the girl                                                                                                      his making the mix tape for. From this close up we can see the fark and mystery                                                                                                          backgroud, there is a red curtain and its closed. The red curtain conates thats his                                                                                                        could be in love and over thinking about the girl, however this could also mean that                                                                                                    his up to something dangerous if you have never seen the film.

 

                                                                                                   Further more this closeup shows the boy's facial expressions. Showing an actor's                                                                                                        facial expression is very important in a peice of media. From this closeup the                                                                                                                audience can identify that the boy is looking a bit worried, this relates to the fact                                                                                                          that his making a mixtape for a girl that he might have feelings for and he could be                                                                                                    worried that the girl might not like it.

 

 

                                                                                                   Throughout the short film there is quite a lot of cross cutting between the boy and                                                                                                      the girl’s room. This suggests that even though they not together in the same room,                                                                                                    they feeling the same way because in the cross cuts scenes both the girl and the                                                                                                          boy are in a happy and joyful mood. 

 

                                                                                                   The director used high angle shots to show the surround of the two children. From                                                                                                    these shot we see that they both could be in they parent's room trying to fit in and                                                                                                      relate to the song on the mixtape. 

 

                                                                                                   From these shows we can see that in the girl's room its has high key light. This portray the girl as the one in control and not afriad of anything however, on the other hand in the boy's room it is dark which shows that he was scared about talking to the girl and what the outcome might be, it also shows that he couldn't do a lot to help him self build confidence. 

 

 

                                                                                                  During the scene the boy leaves his house to go deliver the mixtape to the girl at                                                                                                         her house. Through-out this scene the director made it in slow motion, this gave the                                                                                                   audience the illusion that he is setting off on a big journey but in realisty he is only                                                                                                         going to doors away. This is effective because it builds up to a climax of the short                                                                                                         film which is when he reach the door bell of the girl's house and finilly has to give                                                                                                          her the mixtape.
