Textual Analysis.

This short film is called 'Signs' and i absolutely love it because there is no dialogue in it, apart from a voicemail message. It is about a man who has moved to the city and is unhappy until he meets a girl who works in the opposite offices. Soon his life becomes happier until she moves offices...
This short film uses diegetic sound as there is background music throughout in minor and major key depending on the mood of the scene. However, there is very little dialogue as the only dialogue there is, is of a voice message. To replace the dialogue between the main characters they use mise-en-scene of paper and pens to create the signs. I like the simplicity of the film as it uses signs rather then texting or emailing or communicating via facebook.  Their relationship is budding but in simple times as they are not using modern technology just paper and pen like old times. The lighting in this short film reflects the mood of the main male character. For example, when he is sad the lighting is quite dark and dull. Whereas, his love interest is in his life the light automatically becomes bright and sunny.

This is another short film called, 'I love you'. I really like this one as its comedy and i love the comedy genre. In this one it is about how hard it is for a man to say 'i love you' so instead he says, 'i love jews!' as his girlfriend is deaf. But soon it all goes slightly wrong...
They use non-diegetic sound in the background, which fits to the mood of the film. Unlike 'Signs' they use dialogue as a big part of the film as it helps explain it. The mise-en-scene is basic of a bedroom with lights on making it brighter. They also use a balcony and outside are trees and other flats. Another piece of mise-en-scene they use is a dummy as he falls out the window. The colours they use as the bed covers are dark and sexy and fits as they are talking about having sex. They use many long shots, for example of him standing in the doorway tring to get Catherines attention. This is a good shot to use then as yo can see fully what he is trying to do. They also use alot of close-ups so you can see their facial expressions properly.
