Comments about the short films

EL SUEÑO DEL CARACOL / SNAIL'S DREAM:

About the technique, we can appreciate a really good one. We can notice that it's a professional short film because the actors get beneath the skin of the characters and make you forget about the fact that it's a short film. The best part of this one is the argument because without almost any word and no color, they  achieve to communicate a beautiful story.

HIMENÓPTERO:

If we pay attention and we see that the main argument of this short film sorrounds about the technique world of the cinema, we can say that here we can see all the shots, sequences and scenes almost ever created. I don'r really like this one because it's some kind of agressive, but it's really useful for understanding the world of cinema and its complexity (including the fights behind the scenes)

HIYAB:

Here we can see the technique about the dialogues and the interaction between the characters. It's a really short short film that talks about a common problem for muslim people in Europe. It's really simple because we can almost only see 'short reverse shot' and 'close-up'.

FÍSICA II:

That's one of my favourites. It looks like a part of a long film so we can say it's a profesional one. The argument is also really common between young people around the world and that make us feel closer to the characters. We can see good shots and good camera movements that make us forget that a camera is recording them, that, from my point of view, it's the main aim.
