The short film that I have decided to write about is called "Black Button". It is a great production and I enjoyed it very much.

The first thing that I liked about this film was that they made great use out of the camera with very little props. The film featured an intense conversation between two men.

Another thing I liked was the shots of the man who had to make the decision. When the camera was on the older man it was perfectly still. But in the shots of the other guy the shots looked more shaky and realistic. I think this helped get the audience involved with his desicion makeing process and helped the viewer step in his shoes.

I also liked how as he got closer to makeing his desicion the shots became more upclose. This helped to show that it was drawing to a close and brought out the intensity of the situation.
