Short Film Research: One Small Step

CAMS
  • An establishing shot shows the audience to get a perception of where the scene is taking place, especially if has changed or becomes relevant in the scene.
  • The two shot allows audiences to see the connection between the girl and her father, and the significance the relationship holds to each of them.
  • The medium close up allows for an emphasis on the character's face without only showing her face.
  • The wide shot was able to show the environment and for the audience to understand what has happened.
Mis-en-scene
  • The acting of constant laughter, reflects the emotion making it more obvious for audiences.
  • The costumes at first were able to reflect the hopes and dreams of the young girl.
  • The dark, gloomy atmosphere after the death allows for the audience to understand what the girl is going through and sympathize with her.
  • The setting remaining constant over all those years helps the audience to understand the father's love for his daughter never changed.
Editing
  • The zoom shows the audience the emotion that the girl has and how much the moment will go on to impact her.
  • The fade in allows for a more seamless transition, that goes almost unnoticeable.
  • The dissolve makes the transition from past to present more smooth, helping the audience to understand that although time has passed not much has changed.
Example Films
  • Dog
  • Black Adam
  • Dune
Elements we like
  • Establishing shots are crucial to the story, if not already expected.
  • Dissolve transitions are often the best way because they are noticeable but right at the perfect level so scenes flow right through.
  • Using a wide shot to have the same affect as an establishing shot allows for more variety of camera angles.
Elements we don't like
  • The acting in this was almost overdone at certain parts and needs more maturity to it.
  • The medium close up was not the best shot to be used for, a close up or extreme close up would have done a better job.
