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.
