Short Film: Memories


Memories is a very simple concept of how with old age we loose our memories and this comes in the form of the character walking around with all of the memories as a reel of photographic film. as he walks around the reel becomes bigger and the memories are then lost as he walks into his house, as he shuts his door the memories are left behind. The idea is based on the the loss of memories and how they can go within a flash. There are flashbacks to the past, these are based on the memories which the man has as he finds the reel of the film.  

Mise-en-scene: The film is based around the roads and it has a bleak look to it giving the audience that the film does have a bleak and sensitive subject. The man is wearing clothes which would be associated for the characters age. There are two large props in showing the story and they are the reel of film and the 

Camera: The camera shots are very simple there are some close ups of the main character and there are shots of him with the reels these give the idea to the audience that the story is based around that. 

Sound: The film doesn't include an sort of dialogue, but there is a slow piece of music in the background. also the sounds of the road are enhanced adding to the piece.

Editing: The biggest part of the editing is the filter which has been added to give the film a dark/bleak/eerie feel as this is based on the subject matter which the director of the film is conveying with the film and the way they have edited the film in post production. There are also flashback which have been given a filter of an old film with lines where the film has worn.
