Touch-Harry Quilley

Touch

ECU of the opening handshake

Touch is a short film that portrays then life of a couple, through the holding of their hands from the day the met, to the day the husband dies. At which time the opening scene is almost replicated, with an almost identical scene to the one of which we started with, to imply a sense of repetition to the short film (that it could be repeated all over again) as well as the representation of 'life'.

ECU of the closing handshake

 This short film is particularly difficult to set a specific gender as it has very little to work off, as a very short film of its type it gives off very little detail to go off, however because of the lack of a story line, romance would seem the only possible fit of genre as the only emotion we feel is romance. As our short film has a requirement of 5 minutes, this gives us time and freedom to create a genre of our choosing, based off our target audience as well as being creative and original to increase the popularity of our short film.

Through-ought the clip we get many close ups of the couple, and what feelings are being portrayed for each clip, as well as the other halves response. The use of blurring and background focus suggest a specific attention to just each other, and nothing around them, just their love. Even if their expressions aren't exactly happy, they still represent happiness as we see her facial expression from giving birth. This increases the show of love, of being their every step of the way.
