Post-it Love by Si & Ad (2008) (UK) (3m) 

"Post-it Love, written and directed by British duo Simon Atkinson & Adam Townley (thus Si & Ad) is just about as close to perfection as you can get in a romantic short film. Like the similarly brilliant Signs, Post-it Love shows us two shy office workers looking for love but unable to say so overtly. There is some suspension of disbelief needed but these are romance shorts made for the silver screen!" Source: http://www.filmsshort.com/

 The short film has two main characters, a male and female. They are represented as being two people who are very shy but share a loving interest in each other, and this is shown using various different techniques. At the beginning they are found photocopying some paper and as you can see they have both gone on different copier machines because they are too shy to talk to each other. When standing in front of the machines the shyness is once again represented because they both peer over the wall-section to glance at the other person simultaneously and quickly look down when they spot the other person staring at them. The girl is in a close up shot and you can see a small smile appearing as if to portray her happiness that the male was looking at her too. 

I chose this short because it holds a very positive image, after the first time you watched it. In addition, it is difficult to make romantic-genre short film, as the director does not have a lot of time. "Post-it-Love" is a very kind film, which raises the mood after the watch. The mise-en-scene is quite simple, however, it is how it should be in this case. I cannot say much about this short, perhaps, because it is simple and fun, but that's why I put this short in the blog, I liked it.

H ere is an example, how short film such as "post-it love" can act as a commercial to a new samsung product. In cooperation with Future films, Samsung has made 4 short films so far. It shows how marketing and promotion works for Samsung. "We reach 10m people a year with our content, representing serious media value and an audience that trusts us to deliver the best content from around the world." The amount of audience that Samsung and Future Shorts is huge, in addition the audience come from around the world, which makes it interlinked. Furthermore, they say that, "The public will be asked to vote for their favorite film and from June 5th Pearl & Dean will showcase the winning entry as part of the very first 108 screen, pre reel, HD digital network". This suggests that the winner's short film is going to be promoted in a very effective way, as it is going to be shown and distributed on 108 screens!! Learn more HERE!!
