Opinion on..'Telling lies' and 'Love does grow on trees'

During the lesson we viewed the two short films 'Telling lies' and 'Love doesn't grow on trees', they were both very different.

'Telling lies' was a short film all about telling lies and how everyone does. Their were no people filmed however it was their voices and text came up with what they were saying. The different sizes and colours of the text would emphasize what the people were saying. When someone was lying in the short film, the text would come up white, this represent when the person was telling 'white lies'. I thought the whole concept of this film was very clever, however it took me a while to actually realize that the lies were coming up white which represented the 'white lies'.


'Love does grow on trees' was about this young boy who became obsessed with pornographic images. He couldn't buy pornographic media from stores as he was too young however he came across this area in the woods where he found hundreds of images ripped out of newspapers and magazines. His obsession soon got out of hand and he realised this when he met a girl he took a fancy to. Once he had realised he returned them and then the film ends on a cliff hanger as we don't know what happens next with the girl he met. Personally I wasn't to interested in this film as it didn't really capture my attention however I do think it had a clever concept.
