Over (Jorn Threlfall, 2015) Upon reflection of this short film was interesting however while I was watching it I was quite bored due to the very slow pace. although I thought this it does seem intentional that the film was slow in pace - to suggest that people are desensitised to horrible events and to show how things just go back to normal - which is part of the reason the film is more appealing to think back on than it thought on my first viewing. the use of extreme long shots through the film really detaches the audience from the events of the film (which while it also gives a social commentary about how we have become distant from horrific events, such as this, and we are quick to forget them). this adds to the mystery in the film, we are shown the 'crime scene' from a distance but lead to try and figure out for ourselves rather than - like a typical crime drama - being 'guided' through by a detective character. in some ways as an audience we are positioned as ...

Good tips given for how to write good dialogue. Dialogue is probably going to be my biggest challenge when writing my script s...
