Whilst there is dialogue and subtitles, the main elements of the story, and emotions of the character, are clearly depicted through the actions and movement. There is also a clear narrative arc in this story. A beginning, middle and end that is satisfying. Whilst not all short films necessarily need this, we should make sure the narrative structure of our film is at least that. Satisfying.

Elefante (Short Film)
I watched this short film a while ago and felt, whilst it's not completely in keeping with our theme, that it was relevant to our own short film. This is mainly the idea of someone who doesn't necessarily look like a 'human' being depicted as different. The juxtaposition of the look of the character and it's human traits (for example in this he's still pretty much upright and wearing a shirt) creates an empathy and interest in the character.
