Short film research: Strange Beasts/ Science Fiction

 Welcome back! For my final short film research  I watched "Strange Beasts". This film had many elements of the previous films I researched but did have some different elements. For example, the lighting of this film was extremely different. The lighting was bright and natural. I preferred this lighting over the other dark lighting in the other films I researched. I thought that it went more well with the futuristic era and technology. Even though the storyline was creepy I thought it was nice contrast. The lighting suggests a cheerful atmosphere. I believe it makes the technology that is being advertised of like eye contacts where you can see virtual pets make it seem normalized and common. It made everything seem okay. But in reality it wasn’t. It wasn’t because the film showed the guy to have a daughter that wasn’t real. This gives the film a creepy twist. Angles the film included are medium close up, close up, long shot, and wide shot.These angles were used when the guy was explaining the product of these eye contacts that make you have your own pets. The sound it included are dialogue, non diegetic sound, sound motif , and sound beige. I liked the sound motif they included of the making sounds from the animals. It made the animals seem more realistic and more interesting. There isn’t anything that I disliked because I like the different locations that were used in the film. Props included a ball when the person throws a ball for the pet in the virtual experience. The outfits were casual wear that everyday people will wear. The dad wore a shirt and jeans and daughter wore kids clothes. The setting of the film took place inside of a house and then went from a cafe then outside. This was a great film that I enjoyed watching.
