'Too Quick To Judge' Jordan Spencer's Short Film Analysis

Too quick to Judge was realised on 29th of August 2014 and was directed by Maaz Khan, i watched it on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fzn_AKN67oI


'Too Quick To Judge' tells a story of a boy and a girl, the girl of which is sitting on a park bench drawing alone when a jogger comes next to her and places his bag down and proceeds to go for a run and when he comes back he says thats a beautiful drawing and she ignores him and he stops an says it again and she says nothing again he then takes offence and states that not all men are trying to get with them and calls her stuck up and goes for a run, the girl can see she's offended him and she leaves the drawing under his bag and leaves, with the girl gone he comes back to see that there is a drawing saying, "sorry if i offended you, I'm deaf".

Audience for this short is very broad i feel and i feel that its to modern society, its a strong message that tells us not to be too judgemental and that assuming is rude, if your first impressions of someone are bad then they will always be bad. i think that the audience and most people who did watch this would be happy with the film and message that it was portraying because it really shows how bad we can be and that we give everyone the same identity when we don't even know them.

Representation is shown in this film very strongly i think that the man in this represents most of society and the louder more confident people in it, and the girl represents the shy, keep themseleves to themselves type person, and this is easily shown by that lack of conversation they manage to have and while this may be because she is dead it still believe that it shows how different two people can be but we still assume that everyone else it the same. 

Genre of this film is educational and that it teaches society and people that watch this to not be so judgemental, as jumping to conclusions and trying to make someone else seem like the bad person can easily make you look like the worse person and as this happens in the film we start to feel more sorry for the girl then the man when we find out how rude he's been.

  1. Jordan - you have used a few terms, and covered a few aspects of the key concepts. However, these analyses are very short, and for higher marks need to use more media language referring to detail in the film, more precise and specific application of theory - for example - more on semantic and syntactic codes. This is currently level 2 work. Look at some others for examples of level 4 work, as we've done in lessons.
