Telling Lies

Telling Lies is a short film that is created using only words written and directed by Simon Ellis.
It is a dramatic animated comedy that is used to show thoughts a feeling without the use of characters.
During this film many phone conversations take place between a series of voices.
I enjoyed this film because the way it took place was very creative. Each characters speech was written in a different colour which may have portrayed how the character was feeling. For example one characters speech was written in orange which may portray that they were annoyed or angry throughout.
However during the conversation some of the writing was replaced with white writing which showed what the character was actually thinking whilst they were talking rather then them actually saying it. This white writing showed when they were telling a lie and it was white to show it was a white lie; a lie that's told to avoid hurting someone or confrontation.
The writing was also bigger when someone was shouting which was a great way to show someone's reaction without actually seeing a character or body language. I think the use of the white writing was really useful because usually in a film you do not know whether or not a character is lying or how they are feeling so by doing this you were able to see clearly what a person is thinking.
