Short Film Research: Post-It Love
a. Common Sound in your genre
This short was scored by a very annoying few songs. I must say though, the soundtrack was very befitting of the nature and meet-cute concept of the story. I also liked that the soundtrack/score wasn't all-enveloping and that I could hear diegetic sounds of the office building's everyday happenings.
b. Common Mis-En-Scene (CLAMPS) in your genre
I liked the man's first suit. I happen to like the colors the director used on both, as it represented their character. I also like how clearly Wes Anderson-inspired this was. The symmetry was on point, and the development of the characters was similar plot-wise to Wes Anderson's.
c. Common Editing in your genre
This was very full of jump cuts, as it made the moments look "at-a-glance", which made the film actually feel more immersive. It very well framed the romance between the two coworkers. There were also a couple really cool pans I saw that I liked.
d. Example films of your genre
Hotel Desire
All Too Well: The Short Film
Munchausen
La Jetée
Hotel Chevalier
Antoine and Colette
In a Heartbeat (II)
e. What elements of the genre that you like?
I liked the plot of this one. I want my short to have a similar lighthearted feel, at least for the beginning. I also liked the brightness of the whole thing, which I plan on using in a slightly more condescending way.
f. What elements of the genre do not appeal to you?
I did not like the soundtrack/score of this short. Oh my goodness was it bad. It was annoying and sounded comparable to nails on a chalkboard. The few songs they used fit, but they killed me.
