Film Review of Leeds University- The Forgotten Hit, Indecision and Farwell Charlie Power.

The Forgotten Hit.

The Forgotten Hit was a good short film. The story and the plot twist were planned out very well. I liked how there was not much dialogue so the audience could focus more on the facial expressions and the story itself. The music itself worked well creating an atmosphere of tension and suspense. The pace of the film was good, however at some points I felt it dragged and I wanted it to pick up the pace, but then again I feel the pace worked alright. The twist at the end of the story worked really well to the story and also an unexpected twist as well.




Indecision.

Indecision I feel had a alright story plot, which you could follow. It was about a man and a women in love, but the man felt like he was pretending so decided to leave her, however he then had mixed feelings on what to do. In this film a special effect is used by the camera. Both actors were sat in different places, but the camera was flipping like a coin,360 degrees in to the ground and up the other side, which felt to me as this was showing the feelings of either the man, women or both and it confused me, but yet it worked. Throughout the film though, the characters do not speak and you have a narrator talking over and guiding you through the story of emotions and feelings. I feel that yes the story was ok but what I enjoyed about it was the camera flipping 360 degrees.




Farwell Charlie Power

Farwell Charlie Power had a good story plot. I understood what was going on, who the characters were and the plot. I could tell that the main character had learning difficulties, by the way the actor played him, by stuttering his words, always being naughty, hyper and happy, but you could tell he was a handful as well. I love how the setting was set, in the countryside, by the hills and houses.
This piece of film was quite long, however it took the audience on a journey through this young man's life but also his mother's and how she is suffering trying to look after her son. We can see after her son accidentally kills her husband, how she struggles looking after him everyday. Yet the ending completely changes the mood which is lovely.

Film response to "Seven"

The film "Seven" is a thriller and crime film, about two detectives who are on a serial killer case, however, this serial killer used the seven deadly sins to get a message across. 

"Seven" for me, was such an intense film. It had me throughout the whole film on the edge and it had my focus. It is quite graphic, but it paints the picture of what is going on  and by doing this, visualizing the graphics of the murders realistic as possible. I loved how throughout the film, you could never get away from the dark and gloom of the urban city, because this showed the audience that this is life, no matter what. I also love how throughout the film, we did not know who the killer was until right at the end, which was quite a shock, but this ending made me question myself, on why the murderer was doing this and what was he up to? I also thought that, by this ending, the two detectives were his last murders!

Morgan Freeman and brad Pitt both played the characters very well. Morgan's character was the detective of the crime and his character always looked at the crimes in a different way, he always looked 'outside the box' or 'the bigger picture' to try and understand what these murders were trying to say. Pitts' character, Mills, suited him very well. Mills is a determined character and is totally opposite to Detective Summerset. Mills could think outside of the box, because he is too focused on just trying to get the killer in. He, at first, does not look deeply into the crime scenes, just brushes a few looks around, so both of these characters worked well with each other because Summerset taught Mills to look at 'the bigger picture.' They were an odd couple but they worked brilliant in the film.
