Chicken a la carte
The music- beats, like drums also heart
Camera- is wobbly but gives you the sense of being there
Stereo type, two girls, leave alot on the plate ect, get a text and leave (something better to do)
Music changes when the chicken is being carried in the bin, to a lighter beat almost like chimes
As the man smiles the music changes slightly, almost saddens the tone of the film as the man picks which pieces to put in his bag- you almost feel sorry for him as he gets excited over the smallest part of chicken
The camera work as all the children scramble through the bin for dinner, you see their happiness
one child is hanging out of the bin
The camera stays on one particular girl as you watch her eat,
The chicken bones are placed in front of the camera, so you see the little that is there yet the excitement of their faces
The end statistic is shown on the screen for a while, almost time for you to think then the shot of the children is shown again. This I found worked really well.
This short film is raising the awareness of poverty, the fact that the fast food worker can only afford to take scraps home for his family. The producer has risen the awareness of poverty, and the fact that there are others that have it alot worse of than us, having to live off others rubbish to survive. This film is a documentary, and I believe that it is of true happenings as the smiles on the children's faces could not have been faked. This short film overall is really powerful and puts the point across really well. I liked this alot!

I wanted to share with you something similar that is an issue very close to most of us, the planet earth and its valuable resources and how we treat its environment as collective humanity.
