A Woman rushes for her train. A black man knocks into her. The woman refuses his help and she misses her train. The woman has lunch, a salad, but it looks like that another black man is eating her salad. He buys her a coffee. The man leaves and the woman sees a salad lying on the table. She catches a train.
Opinions: I personally really enjoyed watching this film. In some ways, this film was very similar to the film I Produced for ALevel called, 'I Never Eat Anything For Lunch' and its further down in this specific Blog Document.
In some ways, this Film is very powerful. The woman is in a hurry, runs into someone, misses her train and sheds a few tears. Some of the audience will identify with the main woman in this film because im sure that many of the audience will have been in her position. This film also seems to present the concept of racism. The woman does not let the black man help her pick up her things. The woman shares a salad with another black man because she and the audience believe that the black man ate her salad.
2. 'Vincent' - Tim. Burton. Short. Animation. 1982
The sad tale of Vincent Maloy who wants to be the same as his idle, Vincent Price.
Opinions: Personally, I found this to be a a very creative and inventive film. This was an Animation. This film was creepy but also exciting.

3. 'Dumping Elaine'
A man called Eddie wants to dump a woman called Elaine. Another woman called Beth is involved. Is Eddie using Elaine to hurt Beth? Is Beth using Eddie to get back at Elaine? Does Beth really love Eddie?
Opinions: I found this a realistic film. Some of the audience will identify with this 'Breaking Up a Relationship' Situation. The acting in this film was very convincing and clearly emphasised the complexity of the 'Breaking Up of a Relationship' Situation.

4. 'smile around the face'
The entire film is a close up of a mans face. The man and his wife appeared to have recently separated or divorced. The man picks up their kids and takes them to the park.
Opinions: I personally thought that this was a very creative and powerful film. The man appeared to be enjoying himself when he was with his children, which was very realistic and many of the audience will identify with the main character in this film.

5. 'I Never Eat Anything For Lunch'. Based on the Short Story 'The Luncheon' by W Somerset Maugham. A Student Made Film, made by Alfred Letley and Edward Buxton.
Edward Buxton and I made this short 5 minute film for Media Studies ALevel in 2007 when we were at Hampstead Fine Arts 6th Form College in North London. It is also on Youtube. A man and woman meet outside a cinema Foyer. The Man is a successful writer and the woman has put on 21 stone. They remember having lunch together. The next scene is in the past in an expensive Italian Restaurant. The man is a poor writer. The woman eats steak, mash potatoe and the man has salad. The woman leaves him in the restaurant and he has to pay the bill. The next scene is back in the Present where the woman has put on 21 stone.
Opinions: The Restaurant Scene was Personally my favourite part of this film for several reasons: Well Filmed, the acting was excellent, the crunching sound effects were extremely amusing. The First and Third Scenes were, in my personal opinion, weak because they were poorly directed.

6. 'Mack', This film can be seen as a 'Film Noir'. This film is basically about, 2 men having problems, they go to their male friends for support.
Opinions: Very Interesting switches between Monochromatic Filming and Colour Shooting. The Monochromatic Scenes remind me of an old fashioned Detective Novel and Detective TV Program.

7. 'Love'. This film is basically about a woman who tries to tell her female friend, 'I Love you'.
Opinions: I personally found this to be a very melancholy film. The piano music was lovely. The singing was also beautiful.

I did not completely understand this film. A friend of mine had recommend that I watch it, so I did. The scene at time period (2:20) was very sad, when the woman said, 'I love you', and the other person pushed the other woman away. In a way, the love was not reciprocated.
I personally think that this film was trying to present to the audience that love is a very powerful concept and that people should be careful when they use the phrase, 'I Love you'.
8. 'The Fantasist' from the site, 'Vimeo.com'. This is a Student Made film, made by Jessie Barstow and Ciaran O'Brien. This film is basically about a boy doing everyday activities. The Narrator of the film seems to be jealous. She explains what is going on.
9. 'Window on the World' by Matt Steel. A Student made film, made by Matt Steel
Opinions: Personally, I thought that this was a very moving film. The Narrator was clearly frustrated and jealous. Some girls who watch this film will most likely agree and identify with the female narrator. The ending was very sad with the boy writing a letter. However, I was surprised by the sudden end to the film. I was expecting the boy to either see the girl or call the girl and end the relationship.

9. 'Window on the World' by Matt Steel. A Student made film, made by Matt Steel
Window On The World from impressmedia on Vimeo. I really liked the music and the lyrics to the main song. Both the music and the lyrics were very soothing and peaceful. They both helped to give this film atmosphere, shape, beauty.
When the man was singing, he sometimes referred to a colour wheel. That wheel was beautiful. I was impressed that this prop matched the lyrics 'Wheel' in the song.
The POV of a guy on a Skate Board at time periods (2:14 and 2:31) was, I thought, very impressive because it caught the action.
