Love Does Grow On Trees Thoughts

Love does grow on tree's is a short film written and directed by Bevan Walsh.
It's about a young teenage boy who discovers pornographic magazines and girls at the same time and is stuck with the dilemma of which to choose.
The genre is coming of age because it shows how he changes from a child into a teenager, which is the same transition that all boys go through.
I think that the film was effective because there was a clear difference between the magazine photos and the teenage girl he meets at the bus stop. On all the photos from the magazines all the women are portrayed to be sexual beings which is an unrealistic representation of women in everyday life. Before meeting this girl he may have imagined that all women are like this and would have put an unrealistic image in his head.
I like the sound effects that were used when he discovers the images that are falling from a large tree because the music made it sound like a fantasy or as if he were dreaming which gets across that these women in the photos are more likely to be found in dreams rather than in real life.
