Short Film Research: (Friday Tigers/ Drama )

 




    The short film is approximately 17 minutes long, and the plot is quite difficult to decipher. The plot of the film is not very apparent or straightforward to the audience. It doesn't begin with any indication of what the plot might be. The scenes just move from day to day, demonstrating the various events that occur on each day. The movie never goes into great detail about why something happens or what the issue is.

     It simply depicts the aftermath or consequences of the troubles that have arisen in the woman's life. However, because it is a drama, we were anticipating some sort of confrontation in the short film. There are a lot of sounds in this short clip. At the start of the movie, there is some background music playing. The background soundtrack resembles someone singing while playing an instrument.

    The train on the rails makes a noticeable but not excessive amount of noise. Then, little sounds were strengthened, such as typing to text and other minor sounds. The primary characters' outfits are dressed to meet the situation in the scenario, which can be casual attire or different costumes. The performers wear a shirt or blouse with jean slacks and are dressed casually. Realistic lighting is a typical type of light editing.

     The hues are vibrant, capturing the grandeur of nature. The lighting then dims as the day progresses and the sun sets later, indicating the passage of time. A drawing format is used to alter some scenery. Those scenes aren't realistic; they depict a piece of paper and a sketch playing out the scene.Then there's the part where the woman is looking for her father's child and says, "You can't keep leaving us like this," which indirectly tells the plot. 

    Because she is now screaming out her words, which is a vital aspect of the drama genre, the drama begins here. Later, she is discovered kissing another man, and Mike (the father's child) appears out of nowhere and begins battling the other man. Currently, there is a lot of yelling, screaming, and fighting going on. Because it features dramatic activities, it contributes to the drama genre elements. The camera zooms in on this to draw the audience's attention to the drama unfolding in that scene.
