- This short film is different from the others I have looked at so far for my research. This film uses romance and musical and have combined them to produce a very good, and happy film.
- Most romantic musicals are longer films that tell a story of two people that like each other but takes them longer to be together. Being a short film, the director has made it more realistic and shows how quick of a impact one little thing like a mix tape can achieve.
- This film uses the music chosen by the main character as a base to the pace in which the story is told. being a face paced song means that when they both sing at the end of the piece, it shows that even music from the 70's can be popular with a younger generation.
- The mix tape is what brings the two lovers together even being separated by an obstacle(wall) between their rooms. It is powerful enough to be heard from either room bringing them closer together.
- Ben spends his time listening to his Dad's old 70's vinyl and making mixtapes on an old double deck tape recorder. He makes a tape to try and woo the girl next door, Lily, the girl of his dreams. he tries to pass it on to Lily herself but is not there and is greeted by her mother. Ben asks if she could pass it on for him and does. He returns home to his room and hears the tape being played knowing that she got it and starts singing along with her although separated by a wall in which they both lean back on at the end of the film.
