Critical Reflection
My group’s short film Time for Dinner , at a surface level, could come off as shallow or trivial, with no great message or research driving it. However, one must take a closer look to derive the deeper meaning and themes surrounding the film. A combination of research and branding helps to carry across the point, as well as connect with the audience. It can be easy to see the cutesy costumes, cheesy set, and corny dialogue as nothing more than simple writing, but it really is so much more. Time for Dinner represents the rising social issue of the corruption and desensitization of young minds. In the film, it is revealed that the whole story was the imagination of a young girl playing with her dolls. It is this revelation that poses a big question: why was such a young girl fantasizing about such mature ideas? The entire plot surrounds the attempts one woman makes to murder the other. The fact that a girl of such a young age would be picturing this, let alone acting it
