Film 4: Til Death do us Part/Hasta que la muerte nos separe 

What did you like about the film? I really liked the plot of the film; it made it entertaining to watch.  What didn’t you like? I thought the beginning was my least favorite part of the film as the music I felt didn’t match the vibe of it.  
What ideas could you use? Narrative or style? I would perhaps use the narrative theme of betrayal displayed in the film.  What ideas won’t you use? Why? I probably won’t use the violent aspects of the film (i.e. the glass smashing cuts scene) though I do think it was crucial in the plot and scene.  

In-Depth study: All elements 

Feature Example 
Narrative structure  The narrative structure is a wedding that goes wrong in many ways but ends up being fine for the bride and groom as they realise they are perfect together because of their toxicity. 
Establishing characters, setting, plot, theme Inserting image...The beginning scene establishes the plot, as it’s obvious it’s a wedding and the images that the family are watching establish the characters. 
Mise-en-scene Inserting image... The mise-en-scene is mainly crowds dancing on the wedding floor, this example is the Simcha band, a Jewish band that the bride and groom have to celebrate their wedding. 
Cinematography Inserting image... The cinematography in this feel is cleverly used and has a very professional look. In this scene the bride is calling the number from her husband’s phone and looks at the girl through the mirror, this is cleverly done to show the bride’s expressions at the same time as showing the girl picking up the phone. 
Editing  The editing in this film is very smoothly done, it has lots of clean cuts that roll to the next scene without the audience noticing the editing because it flows so cleanly. 
Sound  The sound in Till Death do us Part, is very chaotic and links to the scenes shown in each part. The music and scenes emphasize the characters’ emotions throughout, so when its loud, fast music, the characters feel stressed, in the beginning scene, its celebratory music, again showing the characters emotions, and the end scenes music being a love song, shows the characters feeling of love to each other. 

Inspirations – what ideas did this film give you for your own short film? 

Cinematography/Sound/Editing: This film’s cinematography and sound were the best aspects, so I would use similar in my short film. Narrative structure: I am inspired by the theme of betrayal in this film, so I am thinking of a similar theme to mine. 
Establishing characters, setting, plot, theme:  The setting of the film was really creative so would be inspired by it; the rooftop scene was very impactful and gave effect to the overall film. Creating enigmas: The ending really created enigma in the film because after all the chaoticness and stress, the bride and groom got back together, making the audience confused, so I am inspired by this ending because it is so unexpected.
