Further Short Film Research

    So this is my own research of short films on the internet. As I did with the last post, I'm going to be discussing the same three questions for each. :)

Plastic


What was good about it:
It brings a sense of sympathy and emotion to the audience.
The music makes you at ease when you start to watch it; just like a daily routine for going out or on a date.
It really connects with the viewer, especially if you have had make-up disasters or something before..
Not only does it get at inner beauty etc; it also gets at plastic surgery not being the best root.

What appeals to the audience:
The film was made to make awareness about body issues and to show people that what they may think is pretty and what boys/girls want but the true beauty is who you are. The lady in the film shares this problem with many women and men of today and so appeals to the audience because it is something in common.

What is its target audience:
To me I feel that the film is aimed at those who feel like who they are is not enough, ad that the film is trying to let them know that everyone is special and beautiful. Perhaps women more so than men.

Post It


What is good about it:
This has got to be my favourite. It shows how anybody can be nice and share a compliment with others. It displays how one comment can change a persons day or mood.
The mood is enlightening and brings a smile to your face almost straight away :) 
The soundtracks and all sounds used are warm and reminds you of summertime.

What appeals to the audience:
Carries with it a motto - even little things can have a big impact.
Its fun and humorous to watch, interesting and uplifting.  
Nearly everybody has had that awkward moment with a random person on a park bench. 

What is its target audience:
I feel the audience is a wide range of people... happy people in general but also saddened people who need cheering up.

Identity 


What is good about it:
Well for starters, it has a very powerful impact and vibe about it. There is no humour in it but neither is it sinister... its more sad yet holds the audience because it is so moving. Everybody has an identity personal to them and unique but we change to suit those we love, choose to be friends with or simply because of hard times. I thought that this video would tie in nice with my other half of my media course.

What appeals to the audience:
The fact that the film relates to what happens so commonly in humans; especially in schools, makes the film appeal more to the audience than if it didn't relate.

What is its target audience:
I would probably say this film is aimed at teenagers or the younger more influenced population and to try and tell them it is okay to be you and let your own identity be known.
