He Said. She Said Harry Quilley

He Said. She Said is about the contradiction within each of the four characters heads, on how well their dates went. It uses Levi Strausss' theory of binary opposites to highlight the goings on in a females brain to a males brain and how they compared the two dates between each other.

The men chatting about the evening

They use a non-diagetic soundtrack through the clip, even over the voice-over sections which is also a contradiction to the film, because they are explaining there awful date, with joyful music over the top. We can see from these to screen grabs, the evidence of the contradiction as that each grab has an ecstatic person as well as a down-beat annoyed attitude, as we know however they are both from two sides of the story and only one of each scene enjoyed their date.

Gossiping ladies

The binary opposites highlights the comedic value to the film, as it shows a realistic response from male and female. Which leads on to stereotypes within the film that are implied that there is usually only one gender enjoyed the date and the other didn't. The film follows many other stereotypical views such as the ladies are trying to keep fit by going out jogging and the two guys at their barbecue as well as mentioning the 'game' the night before.

The use of shots from each flashback to the previous night allows us to see their own thoughts of the date, and uses dramatic irony in each one, as whoever is doing the voice-over of the flashback and the audience knew more about the date than the other side of the story that we hear. The flashbacks also use close-ups from certain times in the clips to allow us to see each facial expressions from when their partners didn't see.
