Notes: Short-Film Assignment

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

Ominous/depressing music. Possibly foreshadowing?

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

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

Nice POV camera angles.

Lots of cuts to new scenes.

Nice use a boom/crane in opening scene.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Close up of the man's broken
pocket watch

Long/medium shots to show
the viewer some extra surroundings

Lots of cuts in each scene

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

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

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

Good non-diegetic music to set the tone.

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