3 Very Entertaining Short Films!

It's week 6 .. I think? Cant wait for it to be over to be honest. Uni is so time-consuming, and I like my free time. I laugh at how I actually complain ... I'm here twice a week - if that.

This blog is the one with the THREE short films that were made for the internet. When I first read that, I wasn't impressed because so often I'm disappointed by short films. But my god, the first one I watched was so good. I guessed what was happening pretty much straight away, but it was gripping after the first minute. I thought it was real.

"Black Button"

I thought it was brilliant. At first the acting is a bit shabby, but then I found myself sucked in. The whole time I was thinking "don't you dare push that button!" and when he did, I actually gasped. Then started laughing at myself. I couldn't believe he pushed the button. It got really scary at the end, because I started thinking about what if that sort of thing is real? That you are tested after you die about whether or not you go to heaven or hell ... what if you go to heaven and then your family members fail and go to hell? I got a bit sidetracked I think.

I chose this film, really, because I loved it. Because I thought it was really interesting. The effects at the end when he starts bleeding were brilliant, the close-up shots made it more intense. It was kind of creepy, but I really enjoyed it.

"Spin"

The second film I found was actually really clever and funny. There's no speaking, but it's done really well and I chose this one because I loved the idea in it and the fact that the main guy can say a thousand words with one look. It was really cool and I loved the film work in it. Like the rewinding, and when the guy smashes into the windscreen. I enjoyed it.

"The Black Hole"

This one was brilliant. Predictable. You knew he was going to get greedy, but it was so funny. I liked it. Very impressive too, when he stuck his hand in the hole and it disappeared. And him climbing into the safe. Brilliant work.

The videos ... watch them and you can see why I picked them. From doing this, it seems like short films all have a certain theme and style. They tell a story, they usually teach a lesson too and I really enjoyed them. I never really cared about them beforehand.
