Task 2 - Analysis of previous students work "Sketch"

The main narrative for this short film is young girl's imagination coming to life through her drawings. The film starts with a steady zoom on a vibrant student's room where the student is sat on her bed in shot. The shot on it's own only creates intrigue but combined with the non-diegetic music creates an air of sadness as the music is minor and includes zylophone and flute, two typically basic instruments. The shot then changes to close up shot of the notebook in the students hand which is accompanied by some non-diegetic pencil sounds which ruins the image on screen as the sound doesn't match the strokes of the pencil. It then jumps to a close up of the lead characters face, really out of focus accompanied by the same non-diegetic sound as before but a female voice is heard.The shot quickly comes into focus as she moves giving off a professional feel. The camera cuts to a low angle of her legs moving off the bed. The camera then stays in a high angle shot showing where the girl was sitting, and the shot slowly loses focus and becomes white washed. As the white was appears the clear black font of the word Sketch slowly appears bit by bit on the screen. The slowly steady almost fantastical music sung by the female soprano does create a peaceful stmosphere with a sense of sadness.
