7:35 In The Morning (Analysis)
This is a 2005 Oscar nominated short-film and is regarded
one of the best of its kind, due to the way it can pull an audience in, within
a small time frame. It follows the story of a woman, who goes to a café for her
normal morning of coffee, only to then be approached by an admirer, this is one
example of how the audience can be intrigued by the film, through its mysterious
change in pace and how the story unfolds as a whole
There are also numerous other ways in which
the film pulls the audience in and an example of this can clearly be seen
during the first minute of the film, in which very little to no dialogue is
spoken at all, creating a very mysterious atmosphere to the film. As the film progresses we see various amounts
of
shots., which can be seen below.
The film opens with a simple title sequence displaying the main actors in the film itself.

Eye-line matches between certain characters can create a
greater sense of depth within the film and infuse the audience further, as well
as demonstrating certain acting skills throughout.
ater on we see numerous
camera shots, such as close ups that add to the detail and the story of the
film by displaying little messages that can make the film have a more realistic
and interesting narrative.
We see this
situation then escalate as the music that plays starts to influence more and
more people, showing a common thread between the people in the café whilst the
woman on her phone seems to be seen as the outcast.
During the singing scene,
there is a mass change of mood, from seeming cheerful to then turning into more
of a comedy, due to the way the film is editied to create a sense of fast
movement. This then suddenly turns into a more tense atmosphere as we see the
rejection of input by an individual. This is a great showcase of how fast a
story can change and how twists in the plot can still be implemented in such a
short time period.

The editing throughout this part of the film reflects the tension, using a lot of fast cuts to represent a change in atmosphere. Numerous characters can now be seen in various shots as the scene escalates.

This then takes us to the climax of the film
itself, in which we found out that the explosives were detonated and the whole
dance and singing routine was all blackmail. However, one thing I find
interesting is that, due to the difference in language, it can make it easier
for people to make their own interpretation of the film.
We then come to the
end credits that finish in a traditional “scroll down” effect, showing the
actors, director(s) and producer(s) of the film, as well as the distributors of
the film. This then completes the film and gives and overall sense of closure.
