Year 13 Video AnalysisEden Hall – In Unison

Storyline

A young woman and a young man become dance partners, after competing for a long time they become romantically involved. The film follows them through different life stages and then ends with them as an older couple, now married, they can no longer dance as the woman has an illness.

Interesting pointsI like how the film starts with “noise”

The dates are helpful for the storyline

I think that although Rebecca looks like a professional dancer, it’s not specific to the era that it’s meant to be (70s dance)

I like how the words overlap the film, but also how they are centred so you don’t miss what it says and you can see what is happening in the background,

Interesting points

Close up reaction shot I think more

detail and thought could have been taken for their costumes during the competition, as they are normally more elaborate.

The music that has been played over the top, but now it is muted by Rebecca, it’s good.

I like the time jump

Evaluation

Acting: I think that the acting is very good and they were cast for the parts well.

Locations: I think the use of the school theatre was a good idea for the scene of the film.

Sound: I think the sound is really well done, the way the volume of the music changes smoothly when they talk and when they don’t. Furthermore, there is only one area where you can hear the wind when they are talking outside. I think the songs match the mood really well.
