Final Film Review
Open publication - Free publishing - More a2 media
Here is the review:
his is a short film which is by debutant director Matt Finch. It is a very good try at making a short film, which conventionally has a linear storyline with a small twist at the end.The short film follows a fantasist and his fantasy, until we find he is actually re-enacting the story in his own house.
The story line really does work for the
audience posing a number of questions then answering them promptly at various points in the film. This film is crazy and
genius rolled together with comedic
elements.
As a debutant, his work could have made use of more technology, using some
special effects when the characters are killed. Otherwise the story really is funny and has a different feel to it. The
parallels can be seen throughout, with two very obvious things which can be seen. As short films go, the film ‘Save the World’ has used a number of the conventions, of a short film and really do play a part in
bringing the audience into the film.
It could be said that, the short film has taken some ideas from the many films which have been made in the past years, but they could easily counted as adapted to the storyline. The story has a strong main character , with both versions of him being seen different ways.
The storyline is very simple using parallels throughout, some of them add an element of humour to the film with the banana/gun and punching of the teddy bear.
The soundtrack used in the film is very good for both parts. With the song at the end thats fits the title of the film and with a small part of the lyrics giving the audience an understanding of the story. The build up of tension in the middle of the film, is good for the understanding of the film. Having the strong bold sound used, and how it has been cut at the point where the visuals have come to a head. Even though the music works really well over the top of the film, but the sound effects and the real sounds can be at time a bit over done with sounds which overpower the dialogue at times
Overall I think a very good start with a strong storyline. The film could have more useof technology as this is what films are about in this era. The hero was very cool, compelling and believeable.
Verdict
Save the World has a bold storyline which can easily be read, but some improvement from this debutant director.
