Resarch and Planning for Conversation Piece

The Gene of the film was a mix between social realism and comedy it was not easy to identify because although the film was set in a social realism state instead of dialogue Non digtetic percussion was used. The mise on scene helped me to know that the film was classed as social realism.


The was this film uses the genre so uniquely is that there is not really an actually classed genre for this type of film but it fit into the social realism prototype but then again it could be classed as a musical but because no one is singing it could also be seen as a comedy.


The sound is almost the most important thing about the Short film. Instead of spoken duologue the two actors communicate thought trumpet sounds the sound we hear is non- diegetic music.


I felt that the film had the right amount of time because if it had been longer it will have lost the interest of the viewers so the fact that it was short film made it more enjoyable.

Employing a variety of tactics, Jean attempts to get to the bottom of the situation.
