How to Tell When a Relationship is Over:

The short film "How to Tell When a Relationship Is Over," is 1:42 minutes of laughter. Wit in it's rawest from radiates from it. As the audience, not once did i lose interest in the watch. As i waited for the next scene, what would await wasn't expected which kept my attention. I loved the artistic effortless comedy, as well as how there wasn't much context to the scene which left it more realistic and idiomatic. The 'dead pigeon' scene was one that would dwell on my mind. It levitated that absurdity that made it entertaining to watch.

 

Who Is Bill?: 

The short film "Who is Bill?," left me wondering - Who is Bill? Made by Sophie Mair and Dan Gitsham, it was an imaginative piece of work that with it's use of atmospheric sound was actually somewhat sinister. One feature of the film that I liked was the use of the photo of 'Bill,' that portrays his emotions and intentions without using him with reality. I also thought the use of dark arts was interesting and added more detail to the plot. I loved how the tension intensified as Bill impelled more occurrences such as the light flickering or the mug smashing. I felt that these specifics raised our expectations for the end when we would see Bill. I wasn't disappointed. 

Cool Unicorn Bruv:

The short film "Cool Unicorn Bruv" was an experience from beginning to the end. Ninian Doff used the archetypes of conventional tough boys and contrasted it to something delicate and sensitive. This itself added comedy into the film, and the acting was equivalent to this with it's witty and wacky dialogue decisions. The simplicity of the film and how they made the "unicorn" normal in this situation. They don't really add context to the unicorn, and I thought that was interesting, as nobody really ask rational questions, but more about the speed that it travels. Overall, I didn't feel as if i'd wasted 1:40 minutes.
