What single effect did you get from this short film?
Throughout it I got a very ironically optimistic effect. The main character seems very optimistic, but everything around him remains dreary and dull. It's not until the end that the optimistic part really hits you and makes you think that it had been truly optimistic all along.
Give 3 specific things that led you to that single effect.
"That's Harry, he's a joker...He must be thinking about something right now" The person he points to is leaning depressingly against his sign.
"There's so much community, so much life." As he says this, everyone is passing by without talking or looking at each other.
"Thought the guys might give me a send off or something." He says this, then looks around only to find nobody doing anything. Then, slowly, it turns out that he was right, and they did have a send off for him.
If you could change one aspect, what would it be and how would it affect the single affect?
I think that it would really hurt the single effect if there had been fewer people passing by in the background. The hustle and bustle is a good counterpoint for the dialogue and plot, as it shows off the irony and optimism that the main character has.
