DepicT Research: How To Tell When A Relationship Is Over


"How to tell when a relationship is over" is a slightly comical take on what happens at the end of a relationship. In the short film, it displays different stages of a relationship breaking down, it shows an accurate side to it, and a slightly more ridiculous side to it, which adds the element of comedy whilst also displaying how strange the situation can be in a more lighthearted manner. I liked the setting of this film also, they remained in the kitchen throughout and one character (the man) appears to be staying in the same seat whilst is partner is moving around, until eventually he is sat there alone almost to represent the fact that she was restless and unhappy whereas he wanted things to stay the same. One scene I really liked was when it says "you feel like you're in a french film" before she leaves him, this is because it shows the huge contrast from the beginning by the lighting. In the beginning, the room appears to be light and bright and warm whereas in these scene, the room appears dark, it is filmed in black and white and has a much colder feel to it. Another thing that caught my attention to this short film is the fact that I recognized the actor (Julian Barratt) which surprised me. Here is the link: How To Tell When A Relationship Is Over
