- This short film is about a young boy who has a passion for music. The title 'Mixtape' tells us that the genre of music is perhaps from years ago. The film is set in a suburban area of perhaps a town or city, with flats being the most common type of accomodation in that street.
- The audience for this short film I would say is 12-16 year olds. Although the genre of music is from around 20-30 years ago, the friendship or romance between the young boy and Lily would appeal to younger viewers.
- This film would be suitable for CBBC as a short clip before a news programme, for instance. Younger viewers would watch most of their films/programmes on TV, so I would put this as a suitable platform for this clip.
- We know that the young boy and girl are neighbours which becomes clearer when the girl starts singing. A LS is used to show the boy leaning against his bedroom wall to hear the girl singing. We can also tell frm this that they have a strong friendship and perhaps romance is on the horizon.
- Personally, I really like this film and there is no suprise there as it has been nominated for a BAFTA award.
- This film is fairly recent, set in 2009 and has been widely regarded as one of the best short films of director, Luke Snellin's career.

They are middle class characters matt - costume and interiors suggest this, as well as there accents. They have money!
ReplyDeleteEditing is used to establish that they are next door - the split screen at the end and the constant intercutting.
This is also for a older audience who will have nostalgia for the hours they themselves spent making a mix tape for girl and boy friends.
Level 2 - as above Matt - a lot more detail required
