The first clip seen in our short film is an example of parallelism. Parallelism can be defined as a similar comparison between different time periods, different characters, or behaviors. In this scence, we see myself and Luca mirroring each others behavior. The way we cope with the feelings of sadness are similar, but not 100 percent a replica of each other. The emotions are portrayed through the lowering of my head towards the ground, which indicates feelings of guilt and disappointment. Remorse is often associated with Sadness, which is why Luca and I can be seen to have similar body language.

In the second shot taken, parallelism is mirrored in an opposing way. The contrast between the body language of one of the subjects ( Luca), and the other subject ( Zoe), is clear. Zoe's body language is portrayed as being passionate towards the audience , which can be seen by the way she presents herself. Zoe sits up straight, while as Luca hunches over, showing the audience how the emotions each subject was feeling affected their posture. Zoe can be described as feeling joyous or confident, where as Luca's body language gives the image that he is in despair.

Simultaneity is portrayed in the third shot. Simultaneity is when a scence cuts from one time, or subject, to another scene somewhere else in time. This scene in particular shows an alarm clock counting down until it reaches 0 seconds, which signals the switch in time. The scence then cuts to the subject, Cayley, typing on a laptop. This is a metaphor for never having enough time in the day to finish the tasks at hand. The scene then switches to another alarm clock as it counts down, until the camera lands on the second subject, Chandler, typing rapidly. Both students feel as though time is against them.

In the next scene, we observe the subject, Chandler, demonstrating Leitmotif. Leitmotif is a reoccurring musical, or cinematic idea often associated with a subject. Chandler is associated with a violin passage based off of a pizzicato excerpt ( simply because Chandler is a minimalistic character). Anytime Chandler enters a room, we hear this sound following his entrance.

 The final scene shows an example of Symbolism. Symbolism is when an object, sign , or logo represents a deeper concept. In these scene, the heart made from flowers represents the love this group of friends has for each other. Love extends deeper than a material representation of a gift or symbol, It is a feeling.
