"Love is a bond that is not easily broken"

This short film "Love of mine" is about a young girl who is remembering her boyfriend who she has lost to a car accident. Similar to our film, it does not revel to the audience that the boyfriend is dead until the very end. Seeing this idea implemented so well in this short film makes me think that our idea will work well.
The 2 things that mainly stand out to me about this film are the lighting and the sound. The lighting when the girl is with her boyfriend is very bright and warm. When it is revealed that the boyfriend is dead, there are a lot more shadows present and the lighting seems a lot more darker with a hint of blue. This helps to create the mood and subconsciously makes the audience feel the emotions that the character was feeling. For our film I think that would should pay close attention to the lighting and have the lighting a lot darker for the present day and a lot brighter during the flashbacks to implement the same effect. 
The soundtrack for the film is played all the way through unlike ours where want it to only play during the flashbacks. Like the lighting, it helps to set the tone of the film hinting that something tragic has happened but not revealing what it is. We should make sure that our music should match the mood of the scenes well as to not confuse the audience.
