                         STORY AND THEMES
            
   The Short film The Camera by Peter Lewis is an             emotional and mysterious story that makes you think about life and memories. The film made me feel curious and touched, as it slowly showed how something simple,like an old camera can holds a powerful meaning. From the beginning, the story was interesting and easy to follow. It quickly made me wonder what       would happen next?

The film is about a person(Abbie Lewis)who finds an old camera, and through the photos, start to discover something surprising and emotional. Without giving away the ending, the story is about remembering the past and understanding the people around you. The main message is that memories can be powerful, and sometimes we don't see how important they are until later.

The main character was believable and well-acted. You could feel her emotions, which helped connect with the story. The camera shots were beautiful and clear, with some scenes using lightning and angles to create a strong mood. The soundtrack matched the film perfectly. It was soft, gentle and helped tell the story without using too much words.


Overall, The Camera is a quiet but powerful short film. It leaves a lasting statement about memory, love, and the stories hidden in everyday life and things. I recommend you to have it in your best interest to look at this short film.
     
                 STORY ARRANGEMENT.
The protagonist is the person(Abbie) who found the camera in the house, aiming to discover what's in the camera and why the photos inside seem to be a personal experience, and memories. 


Abbie became obsessed with the mystery. She kept on capturing photos but what came out was her memories. It meant to talk about people's thinking, wasting time, and keeping on going. She has the choice to put the camera down or continue taking photos of her memories and emotions. Antagonist is not a person, but rather time and lost memories.

Nursery Rhymes (2018) Directed by Tom Noakes analysed by ANKAMAH SAMUEL KUJO BFAMPP28011 of GROUP 3

  Nursery Rhymes is a short film that leaves a strong impression through its unique storytelling and technical skill. The film is only five minutes long and uses a single continuous take to tell a mysterious and emotional story. It begins in a strange and unsettling way, with a shirtless metalhead singing “Old MacDonald” by the side of a rural highway. As the film progresses, it slowly reveals a deeper story that challenges what the audience first thinks. The film made me feel curious and a bit uneasy at the start because of the unusual opening scene. The story did not immediately explain what was happening, so it took some time to develop and build tension. This slow unfolding kept me engaged because I wanted to understand the meaning behind the strange behavior and setting. In a few sentences, the story is about a man who seems out of place, but as the camera moves, we see more of his world and the challenges he faces. The central message seems to be about courage and how life ca...

 A FILM REVIEW OF THE LAZY SUSAN BY :EFFIAKUMA GROUP 3 Watching Lazy Susan was both funny and some time mixed of emotions as well. The story engaged us in the beginning as it gradually unfolding as it process. Susan's life appears mundane,but as the narrative deepens it reveals her loneliness of her. The central message of the flim seems to be about the importance of human connection and understanding Susan feelings. The story follows Susan, a woman who seems to go through life without being noticed. People ignore her presence and treat her like she doesn't matter. Susan felt like a real person-funny but also lazy and careless. The actor did a great job playing her character that stood out was Susan's family member who was always honest with her and especially with the way she talked and moved. One character that stood out for us was Susan's family member who was always honest with her. The relationships was how interesting it was when the family cared for her but also ...
