The Silence of Bees (2008)
Great Short Film
I really liked the cinematography in this film. All the shots even the little ones bring depth and complexity to the characters. Example would be Parker typing angrily or the close ups of both Parker and Alex that gives viewers a window into their emotions. All the over the shoulder shots gave a sense of being that person and engaging into the conversation. The slow sad music helped give an atmosphere of the daughter and father who have had a strained relationship. Jim's acting was spot on as a grumpy old man and I liked Sharon's acting because her stoic look gave off the character she was portraying. Some scenes I had a hard time following the dialogue because they'd bring up something I didn't know about. Overall I think it's a great short film that gives the basis of what film students could look up to achieving.
