In order to get some inspiration for our film and think more deeply about how to represent certain ideas, we were set the task to analyze the short film 'Smashed'. We were told to look at how camera, edit, mise-en-scene and sound were used to portray significant elements. Looking in detail at how signs and codes were used to provoke the audience into responding in a certain way, made me realize how important the small details can be when it comes to producing an effective final product.
