Research Tasks - "Mixtape" - Hannah Sell

MixTape (Luke Snellin)
1. Musical romance genre- This film uses music more than talking which puts it more in the musical genre. Music is used to set the scene and then music and singing is also used to help the audience identify that this is of the musical genre.

2. This film uses genre and style conventions uniquely this film uses both elements of musical and romance genres. What is unique about the way this film is done is it doesn't take along time for the plot to develop it cuts to the point quickly.

3. This film uses the short film format well as it is a very short film. However it contains structure and entertainment for viewers. The narritive is short and to the point it is about a boy liking a girl and him making her a mixtape and her liking it. This is all shown in the film but is straight to the point unlike traditional films it cuts out all the middle part and just shows the audience what they want to see.

4. The use of sound is intresting in this film as the sound is what makes it intresting. if there was no sound the film would not make sense. music is used to set the scene but to also make the story. The use of diagetic sound is useful as the music being played can be heard by both the audience and the characters. however at the start of the film the use of non diagetic sound is mixed with diagetic sound as he makes the mixed tape we can all hear the music the music then continues as he walks along the street however the boy cannot hear it any more but we can.

5. This film seems to be about a boy liking a girl and how a mixed tape brings them together. It positions the audience as if they are watching a music video.
