Studying Short Film - Umbilical

Sound
Sound of electricity in opening titles
Low key music with piano
Sounds of water, children playing and a cat meowing
Occasional strings in music
Music changes to high key to ball flies through window
Music builds and gets louder (danger) ball goes back out the window TV - mix of children adverts, noisy Electrical noise on end credits

Editing
Animated film
Sans serif font - more childlike
Black and white opening credits
Black screen and end credits - grey flickering font

Mise en Scene
Black and white floor apart from neon drawings
Baby doesn't have much detail on face or facial expression
Crayons - childlike
Colourful ball - childlike
Colours on TV screen become bright and futuristic

Camera Work
Camera follows the cord
Low angle of baby Low angle of window - distant and impossible to reach?
Zoom out and window
High angle of baby
Close up on crayons
High angle of baby when cord unplugs
