Completed Short FIlm

Overall, looking back at the entire short film of 'One Two Many' I feel that it appears to be a very good polished short. From watching Short Films, it seems to be that the narrative of the films can be extremely outrageous or completely believable and to a certain extent 'One Two Many' fits this convention. It presents the idea of an over the top protective brother, Who tries so hard but, no matter how hard he tries to stop certain things from happening, it still remains out of he's control. That is what the protagonist 'Fish' presents. I think aesthetically, the visual style created by Jordan, is extremely eye catching, it manages to catch and engage its audience from start to finish, due to the way Jordan brought out the vibrant colours using Colour Correction in FCP. I think the music used within the film helps to keep its audience engaged and also helps to influence the fluidity of the narrative. I felt that the frame within the end credit wasn't needed, it didn't meet the conventions of the short, or did it meet the convention of shot films in general, I felt it lowered the sophistication of the piece, however like other big decisions within this project my opinion was simply overruled.
To be able to have critically analyzed my input within this project, I would have had to put a lot of work into this project. I felt within this project my technical skills of putting a well polished video project together were not fully utilised. I worked on character creation and a few mood boards and held the sound mic while shooting, however everything else from filming to editing was done by Jordan. Overall, if I were to have re-done this project I would have tried to involve myself more, however the short film is extremely good.
