Short film I like
The Anti-Social Network
Firstly, I liked the title of this film. 'The Anti-Social Network', is a play on words because it is about social networks such as the use of mobiles, Facebook, Twitter ect. The film highlights the idea that the use of this technology leaves people extremely anti-social. This therefore, is how they came up with the title for the film. The entire short follows a man and suggests that his life is an 'anti-social network' because everything that he does relates to networking.
The genre is comedy because it uses a lot of irony and humour throughout, to get the extent of the problem across.
It is an interesting short, because it can relate to the majority of people as social networks are becoming ever-increasingly popular. Lots of the ideas used within the short are relevant to every day life which adds to the humour. It kept me inticed regardless to the lack of speech, because it was not needed.
Through the use of social networking sites we can express our thoughts, our feelings and our impressions of others. We can upload pictures, let people know where we are and what we are doing. Via Facebook we are able to 'check in' wherever we are and 'like' status' and images so this concept is used throughout the film to show the extent of this.

A2 Advanced Portfolio
Kate Young
I am a student at Prior Pursglove College and I am currently studying for my A-Levels. This is my second year of studying Media therefore I am familiar with the process of blogging and other various forms to display my work. This year my coursework will be based on creating a short film in a small group. Also blog tasks to display my planning will take place throughout the year. Research and evaluation skills are crucial within this project. The work that I will carry out will be displayed on this blog.
You can watch short films via the internet in places such as YouTube and the Virgin website. As well as this being an existing interest of mine I can use this to help my research into short films. This will include audience research and ideas as to what makes a good short film. I am looking forward to further advancing my portfolio and gaining the best grade achievable for my A-Level Media studies.
