Telling Lies

Telling lies is a short film, the film consists of only sound and text to tell the story. Telling lies was made in 2000. Telling Lies is a film that highlights how offten people lie to each other. The short consistis of a number of telephone converstaions, as the lies are told the truth appears on the screen in white text.

I feel the main issuse behind the film is that everyone lies, even the people closest to you. Although you can always trust your mum. throughout the coversataions the mother is the only person not to lie, even though the her son is lieing to her. I really like the idea behind the film, i feel that this film highlights what we all think is happening when we're on the phone.

I feel that the structure of the narrative allows the audience to pick whos side they are on. I also feel that the narravtive is the foundations of the idea, as it creates an interesting story which the audience can relate to. I think that the use of text channenges the auduience to create faces for the charcters and create the scene there talking about. I feel because of this the film is very creative and the idea is genius. Although the idea has recently been popularised by the show the phone jacker.
