Scarred Pages – Short Film
This is a short film about a woman in a controlling relationship, who finds comfort in her artistic expression. I do think that the type of lighting and colour (the cold blue and white) helped set the mood that the film needed. It did not have vivid colours or dark ones, those light colours gave it a sense of expression. The cutaway of the first butterfly was also complimenting to the story, and the use of fast motion gave it character making it stand out from any regular butterfly being filmed. In the introduction we see the woman in a field on a swing and the sky is overexposed, however this helped me understand that she was in her own imaginative world, in which she finds solace.
Dialogue was not overused; what was said was needed for understanding the story. Otherwise, the shots used explained the characters quite effectively.
