Initial Notes on Short Films
The Grandmother
Pitch Black Heist
Two men get high before robbing a bank.
Genre: Crime/Comedy
WWW: How the narrative and situation of the characters naturally produces some good laughs. The developing relationship and chemistry between the two main characters is entertaining to watch.
EBI: More explanation for the final twist.
A domestically abused boy harvests a grandmother to care for him.
Genre : Drama/Horror
WWW: The combined aesthetic of an eerie atmosphere created by the make-up, colour grading and ambient sound conveys how much of a living hell the boy's life is in a way that really evokes an emotional response from the spectator - it's horrible to watch
EBI : Not all the scenes seemed entirely relevant to the plot, but were just confusing.
Night Fishing
Family communicates with father who died fishing through spiritual shaman.
Genre: Drama/Fantasy
WWW: The way the spectator is guided through a trail of thought leading to the realisation of the twist in the film , ensuring that the attention of the viewer is kept up until that point
EBI: Beyond that twist, follows a tedious scene of a ritual that carries no emotional value nor interest for any viewer who does not have some prior relationship with the culture
