FLASHBACK-EXT. STREET. DAY. Two friends sit on a bench near a village Sign with people walking down the road near them, with the sound of passing cars and birds tweeting. CHRIS sits next to DAVID, both of them staring up at the sky. DAVID breathes in closing his eyes, smiles then turns to Chris. Chris smiles back at him, as a dog walker passes by, Crunching through Leaves. CHRIS then glances over his shoulder, his happiness soon warps into terror. CHRIS stands up promptly, DAVID follows shortly, adopting a similar expression of fear. CHRIS begins to run, DAVID follows closely behind, as they pass a car with hazard lights on and an open door. Everything becomes increasingly blurry, loud screams, crashes and car alarms go off in every direction. Everything goes black. EXT. ABANDONED STREET. DAY. DAVID opens his eyes. unwashed and dispirited, he drops his rusted bike to the curb. He slides his bag off of his shoulder carelessly on top of his bike.He sighs loudly, slouching in a ges...

My film follows the last man in the world, as he seeks any sign of life, in his last moments at the end of his journey. The film starts with a flashback of david (the main character) and his friend chris, sat on a bench, in a pre-apocalypse world. they stare at one another enjoying their surroundings. Chris then stands up and reacts to something alarming in the distance, david also expresses concern. They then both proceed to run away from the danger, the camera follows the panic, then cuts to black. The film then continues in present day following david walking around aimlessly. He then contemplates life, and proceeds to leave his stuff behind. he venture onto a stud trying to fins somewhere to end his life. He then sits next to a pond and pulls out a knife. As he goes to stab himself , he hears a distant noise at the last second, he puts the knife away and goes in search of the noise. He runs through fields and searches barns looking for where the sound came from. The film then c...

Arrival is about a pregnant woman who is debating having an abortion. to start of with it seems apparent that she is going to abort the child, through her statement of enjoying as much caffeine as she would like. Then by her eventual order she resides to having a decaf coffee which may quietly imply that she is against aborting the child.  This film manages to cram a huge moral dilemma into a very shirt space of time, which it does pretty successfully. The film has quite a bluish tone with lightning that feels relatively natural, this creates a piece that feels realistic. This makes the debate feel genuine, particularly paired with the actors subtle but effective performance. It shows quite an authentic insight into how the thought process of a mother to be might be like. This film was successful with dealing with a sensitive subject matter and puts a very human insight on it. Though the film poses an important answer it doesn't give any answers, but thats okay as its more of a per...

Tight jeans follows three friends as they sit on a wall waiting for someone to give them a lift. Whilst they wait a person walking by in tight jeans starts, an historically inaccurate debate between the friends as to why slavery existed. The films camera is almost constantly moving, it feels like an attempt to make it more interesting. It's quite a straight forward comedy, their is not really much of a story. The film also has a distractingly saturated colour palette. I found this to be a bit of an eye sore, it was annoying and not very effective. This film is quite humorous and has a nice tone, that isn't heavy on the audience. There isn't too much to pick up on thematically, certainly on the surface it does just seem to be  a comedy. Though it does play with racial stereotypes in a self aware fashion that maybe brings a conversation about race and racial history. If I had to take anything away from this film is, I don't want to make a comedy, as it seems really hard t...
