Telling Lies (2001) - Simon Ellis
Telling lies is an animation focusing on 'the morning after the night before'. A series of animated words flashes up on screen, acting as subtitles for the conversation we are hearing, however the subtitles are the thoughts of the speaker rather than what they are actually saying. I thought this short film was very clever and it made me laugh because it was so different from anything else I've seen before. My favourite element of this film would be how the lies being told flashed up in white writing to represent white lies.
Love does grow on trees (2008) - Bevan Walsh
Love does grow on trees is a coming of age short film. I liked the narrative of this film and how it was shot to show time passing and the boy changing. I liked the directors use of non diegetic sound, for example the fantasy/ magic like music that played when the boy discovered the tree. I think it was really effective how we didn't hear the boy speak until the end of the film, almost marking his transition from a boy.
