Operator

Operator Operator is a short, Drama based film. Its directed by Caroline Bartleet and It shows a women named Laura who works as an operator taking emergency calls for fire services. The caller is a young mother named Grace and in a panicking tone keeps telling Laura that there is fire in the house and her son is trapped in the bedroom. Throughout the short film Laura needs to keep calm her self and to advise and give directions to keep Grace safe however, Grace is panicking too much so Laura tries to help her as much as she can until the fire services arrive. At the end fire services arrive and Grace and her son is safe so as well as Laura, the audience is relieved too. This film in my opinion is the best film out of all the films that we've watched because of the way suspense is created in a very simple way. Sound is used very well to create suspense because sometimes we cant hear the voice of Grace in the phone and also sometimes we can hear stuff breaking and Grace s...

Screenplay Practice

Image
During our film classes, I created a screenplay for one short scene. Our teacher gave us a few scenarios that we had to pick from and I picked a scenario about revenge. This is the screenplay I created; This was my final piece of my practice screenplay and I handed this to my teacher. My teacher after reading this gave me some feedback; -It needs some amending and spelling check. -But, you have the beginning of a good idea, especially the surprising twist at the end. -It needs to be a couple of scenes longer to show more emotional development. -A nice creative idea though for this practice piece! good. Making this screenplay was quite fun which made me think of making a screenplay rather than filming for a short film however, I am still not sure what I'm going to make yet but, when I come back from summer holiday I will definitely know what I'm going to create.

Echo

Echo, is a short film based on a teenage girl receiving phone calls repeatedly about how her father has had an accident which he is taken to hospital. She does this to scam people so she can get money from them. The writer James Walker, witnessed this event occurring in real life. The writer tells us that he saw a girl at one place crying about an accident then, saw the same girl at another place doing the same thing. He was so fascinated by it that he talked about it with the director and so the plot is based on a real life event. Editing in this short film is used very well. In the last phone call scene, because the audience has seen the calls a lot of times already it should kind of feel boring. However, the quick transition between shots kind of emphasis the girls haert and how quick its beating which increases tension. Also, the echoing of her voice repeats the emotional words which she says for e.g. My dads had an accident. Therefore, makes the audience feel emotion...
