Interview 1: Dave, 22 (4 questions) 1:16 mins
Narrative
was easy to understand: ' Yeah, it said one year ago, it was
something that happened in the past, it was still haunting her, it doesn't take
a genius to work it out.'
Interview 2: Nikki, 19 (5 questions) 2.06 mins
One
disadvantage of short films: ' I didn't feel connected to the
characters that much'
This
is probably due to poor character development because of the brevity of short
films.
Another
quote that focuses on the narrative and lack of time for proper character
development:
'
I didn't understand the stabbing scene, I though he just punched her and ran
away. And it didn't seem like she died..until you heard the ambulance.
Something bad must have happened to her. I also didn't understand her throwing
a rock.'
All
the things she said could all be due to the codes and conventions of short film
and brevity is key. This makes it difficult for characters and narrative to
progress.
Interview 3: Nigel, 63 (5 questions) 2:24 mins
Here
are the 3 interviews I did with non-Media students, and I had ages ranging from
19-63, and I asked them the same questions I asked my friends on
Facebook. The answers that these people varied, some didn't really understand
some of the questions I was asking them, and they found it hard to answer,
while some had no difficulty in answering the questions. When asking the
questions, and having played back the videos on Youtube, I found out that their
answers varied a lot, I had one person saying the narrative wasn't easy to
understand and I had another saying that it was easy to understand.
