Storyline
Featured review
The trailer for this short convinced me right away.
The final stone, that took me to watch it at the theater, was the fact that it was completely recorded using just a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra.
Starting for the argument itself, it is a well written short.
It as a start, a middle and a bit of a sour end, as we know in advance that this is a short, but it continues the plot asks for much more.
Actually this kind of argument asks for the writer's creativity to explore the beautiful and creative mind of Fernando Pessoa.
It is a short that could easily turned into a full movie.
That epoque environment and a full story set on a cruise ship, would have set a perfect plot for a suspense movie from the beginning untill the end.
So, we just have to imagine how this short could have gone if it was a full set movie.
Also this kind of feeling left on the viewer side, gives a sense of accomplishment to the director, because he completely passed the messaged of a well written and directed story.
From the technical side of filmmaking, if I didn't knew this was filmed using only a smartphone I possible could never guessed it.
As i knew before hand, I was particularly searching for flaws, at the same time admiring the techniques they used to get the most advantage of that small sensor.
We all know that a great filming technique could even make a bad camera to produce some beautiful scenes.
Even so, there are scenes that even the best director cannot do much without the technology to achieve it.
In this short there was some dark scenes set in a deck of a ship at the middle of the night.
We all know how a smartphone super small sensor strugle with low light, especially at night.
So, in this particular scene I was paying close attention.
Actually the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra did a magnificent job capturing all the glimpse of light it could, reducing the noise at maximum.
The light technicians also did a great job too, balancing a decent ambient light.
Overall it was a very pleasant short to watch that mixes a lot of perfect combinations.
From a full set of different scenes, various filmaking techniques, well written tory, two different languages integrations and a captive viewer attention, this is a short that makes the viewer to wish to have a full movie to watch and enjoy.
