Deconstruction - Plastic

This short film is about an obsession with body image to the point of  not wanting to see someone at all because of the way you look. This film is an inspiration to a lot of young people as she finds a way to be happy in her own body, somthing many young people struggle to do. She does this however by changing her body, moulding in to whatever shape she desires like a piece of clay. She ultimatley changes back to her original form, setting herself as a guide to young people, telling them to be happy with what they have. This part is what some people wish they could do, and although it is very clever I feel as though the subject is a little toutchy with today's audiance. I've chosen this film to deconstruct because of how popular it is on youtube (over 700,000 views), and I think that a toutchy subject is a good way to make a short film popular. I may use this somwhere in my film. The whole body image thing isn't something i'm looking to utilize in my film as it isn't relevant to the subject of my film. Another thing i'm defiantly not going to use is the CGI that is used in this film. Even if I wanted to use CGI I wouldn't know where to start and it wouldn't particularly add anything to my film. However some things are brilliant and are definitely going to be utilized in filming. The use of lighting is excellent, it starts off all dark and gloomy, and is she finds that her fingers have left marks in her head, the bathroom light flickers to show her confused emotions. At the end when she decides to go back to her normal self, she steps into the daylight again, showing that she is happy the way she is.
