Echoes of Mine

This is a very good example of a short film is a psychological set up. The use of editing is very clean and precise. The colourful effects used really adds a very dramatic effect. At the shot 3:11 - the use of the cut scene of colour shows the split lives. I love the use of colour because it makes it seem as if the short film isn't set in a normal world, this is due to the trees and grass being purple and orange which aren't the normal green colour of them. Throughout the short film, the use of music is very effective because it sets the scene of searching for something. The change in colours of the leaves and grass makes it seem as if she is hulusinating which suggests a serious mental matter.


The use of the varied different angles and shots within the short film is very interesting, the use of the handheld shots throughout creates an atmosphere that its very free.By including the same character twice within scenes gives a very strong aspect of a physchological problem with the little girl. The colour of the girls top (white) tries to convey that shes pure and innocent.


The use of the split and overlapped editing creates a built up effect that something drastic is going to happen. The use of the can thrown on the floor signifies that the driver had been drink driving - then caused the accident.
