Miracle Fish- Short Film

This short film is simple but effective. The main topic seems to curve around the fact of "being careful of what you wish for" as this young boy of 8 realises in the film. As I was watching it, I began to realise the different uses of shots, sound and text was used to create more of an abstract feeling towards the film as its genre was steeped in Sci-fi. I realised there is a strange twist at the end which makes the  piece even more interesting.

Mesmerize me -Short Film

This short film has a very well thought through plot that explores love and horror. It is about a girl who is troubled with a death of a former boyfriend set in to 1800s. She sees her dead boyfriend even though others can not see him and her mother introducers her to a hypnotist. She eventually falls for this man, even though she still is not over the death of her other half. I find that this short film is long but it is very structured and easy to understand. I would like my film to have the same qualities for this one
