Main Task Deconstruction 2

   

I have decided to deconstruct the short film "Enjoy your sport" although this short film doesn't really have a story, it includes different shots of people performing a sport, therefore  it encompasses different camera angles, shots and movements that I intend to use in my short film so I thought that using it for my deconstuctions could be very beneficial.

Camera Angles/shots/movements and sound

Like most short films, this one starts with an establishing shot. This is used to introduce the audience to the location of the scene, as it was filmed outside (park,street,..) the two first establishing shots have no specific code to discuss about, the first one is a skyline shot of nature and the second one includes birds flying. To highlight the sports theme, the directors of this short film used a close-up of sports shoes which I will use as well to introduce the audience to the main theme which is sports.  The following shot is a two shot of two people playing football, followed by a long shot of someone skating. The directors made use of the same establishing shot after this but this time with the title "Enjoy your sport written". The next shot is a mid-close up of someone's calves and feet walking, following by a long shot of people jogging and riding a  bike. The scene of people playing football came back after this but this time they made use of a mid-shot it is followed by another mid-shot where people are jogging, here again you don't see their faces. This is to highlight the fact that it's not about who they are but about what they are doing. The following shot is a brief tracking shot of dogs running and playing in the nature. The directors of this short film used similar shots over and over again so far. This changes now, they made use of an over-shoulder shot while someone is walking following by a close-up of someone's calves running. The next shot is a POV of someone biking ( I presume) as you only see the road he's on. The directors then made use of a montage including 3 tracking shots, the first one is of a dog, the second one of someone roller skating and the last one of a different dog. This is followed by an establishing shot of the location just to remind the audience and switched to another close-up of someone's calves running. To conclude, the last shots are longshots of people biking following buy another establishing shot of the sky. It then fades to black at the end.

In terms of sound, the directors made it very easy: the soundtrack includes the same non-diegetic sound which is remix of the song Lullabies by Yuna.
