'About A Girl' - Brian Percival (2001)
The effects that Brain Percival has used in his 9 minute short film 'About A Girl' have created a really effective movie with deep meaning and emotion. The constant changing angle of the shot of the girl, whilst smoothly cruising along side her (possibly on a trolley or in a car) made for a tense scene. The constant draining of colour throughout the film shows that the girl is getting more and more depressed, till the final riddance of her hidden child, as she flings it into the canal, followed by the sun coming out, representing the freedom of her.
Some of the shots used would have been very hard to get, with some underwater ones, where he used someone's swimming pool, an over head shot where he must have used some sort of crane to lift him up above the canal.
Overall i thought the film was very interesting and really sucked me into watching it. It has given me some good ideas if i ever come to making a short film.
