In media, we have watched two short films. One is called 'Pudding Bowl' (shown above) by Vanessa Caswill and the other is 'Ginger Cake' made by Charley Deakin (A2 student). 'Ginger Cake' was made with 'Pudding Bowl' as its style model so we were asked to look out for the similar conventions used in both films. Here is what I found:
- Both films start with the camera panning over the girls work. There is some relaxing non diegetic music being played in the background and the titles of the films appear in the corner of the shot. The sound continues in the background of the next scene creating a sound bridge.
- The film both uses a variety of shots to show the girls working hards on their projects (e.g. close ups mid shots, zoom ins, etc.
- They also both emphasise the silence and the diegetic soundswhen they are working.
- Both films have minimal dialogue in it. Instead they use camerawork and major and minor key music to give the charcters more depth.
- They both have a twist in the tale to prevent the main character fulfilling their dream (hair being cut off/massive spot on face).
- There is a mirror for the main characters to look into in both films.
- The ending of both films have happy music playing to the end credits.
