Question 4.
In the tute we screened a short film called Rolling – a film made in Film-TV1 a few years ago.

I enjoyed the film. Even thought the ending probably a bit very unlikely to be true, it is weird that the girl goes to the boy’s apartment with the toilet paper rolls and invites herself in. I like the beginning of the film in which the boy is in his apartment full of toilet paper, that raises my interest of what the reasons behind this. I think the actors are great, especially the boy. How he presents his lines with those silences gaps make it so naturally awkward and hilarious. Another thing is about the lighting at the supermarket scene. The light seems is not constant and changes to a bit greenish. I guess it may be a problem of the white balance of the camera. Overall the film is quite engaging and it fits the idea of a short film as it is easy to present with two characters and two locations only and the story is not complicated.
