The element that stood out to me in this short film was how the relationship between the two girls changed, when one of the girls sat on the fathers lap. The structure relates to the theme because it shows the viewer how disconnected the fathers relationship is with the other children and how things escalate between the characters.
The film used a small depth of field when it wanted the viewer to focus on a certain character or to heighten facial expressions. Train tracks were used to mount the camera on and used as a dolly to track the movement of the characters smoothly.
The sound added to the subtle 70's look and it also related to the story when they play the song 'Where's ya Momma gone' which compliments the characters situation.
The Theme of the short film was the comparison between the two sets of children and how the lack of communication between Father and child can cause confusion and stir up a tense and unpleasant environment. The directors focus is the relationships the the man has with his children and people around him.
I liked the film because it was very interesting, but it had a confusing story because I dont actually know what was happening within the family structure. The film was successful with the subject matter when dealing with the different relationship, but was unsuccessful with trying to make the film easily apprehended.
