Key Concept Analysis: Codes and Conventions

the majority of camera angles in this film are done in such a way that it looks as if the audience is an outsider watching the action happen in real time, especially the low angle shots that make it feel as if we are sat on a bench on the platform observing.  The colour correction in the film is very expressive of the mood of the characters. The light from the sun as it starts to set gives a warm glow to all the footage, causing the audience to cast their minds back to that warm fuzzy feeling we get when we're with a person we care about a lot. I feel that the colour correction on the footage accentuated this, and also gave it a slightly rosy look about it, possibly hinting to the expression "looking at someone through rose tinted glasses". Basically, it means that when looking at someone affectionately, our feelings for them often mask the less appealing qualities of the person, making everything appear to be lovely and rosy, when the reality is just a little less sweet than that.  codes and conventions of a short film Typical of short films, this film takes place over a time plan of just 2 days, and yet in that time we are presented with a whole detailed story of how two people met, and their feelings for each other. This style of 'quick fire' representation of character, in my opinion, is difficult to achieve, but when done correctly, is far more interesting that character development within a feature film. 
Also, this short film tugs on the audience's heart strings so much that I feared they might break completely. I like that they have produced a more real-life version of a love story. Although cute to watch, the audience can't really take much from a film where the characters live happily ever after. Hardly anybody finds their happy ever after in real life, and so the audience will find this film a lot easier to relate to than the more typical  love stories. I'm sure this is exactly what the producer was aiming for. Stepping into the shoes of he producer, we would want as many people as possible to relate to our product, in the hopes that they would spread the word about it, either by social networking, or simply word of mouth. After all, most short films are self funded.
