Notes: Short-Film Assignment

Tamara

Grate use of dolly tracking in the openeing scene combined with some POV camera angles and close ups.

Good non-diegetic music to set the tone.

Great pan when the girl was listening to the music box.

Throughout the dancing scene the use of a boom/crane shot combined with the non-diegetic upbeat music was powerful.

Destiny

Opening scene uses a close up combined with a longshot when the man is going down the stairs.

Lots of cuts in each scene

Long/medium shots to show the viewer some extra surroundings

Close up of the man's broken pocket watch

Dramatic use of zooms, pans, and closeups when the man broke the clock to stop time.

Extreme closeup of the man's face and the bus driver's face.

A few simple pans, like when the man is looking down the stairs around the corner.

Great use of the diegetic sound of clocks and alarms that are ringing constantly.

Great use of a tilt at the end of the film.

Sight

Great use of camera movements such as dolly movements, pans, and tilts.

Nice use a boom/crane in opening scene.

Lots of cuts to new scenes.

Nice POV camera angles.

The Desk

Nice use of diegetic sound of the ambient school hall chatter.

Dramatic use of non-diegetic music to set the tone.

Ominous/depressing music. Possibly foreshadowing?

The music picks up to a more hopeful/cheery style.
