Evaluating the 2 plot twists of high maintenance

 The first plot twist of involves a 'human like' woman and her 'husband' eating dinner on their anniversary, having blunt and dead conversation as well as acting very emotionless. The plot twist is quite surprising, in which the fact that the husband is a robot. However this is quiet surprising because the audience is not expecting this as the first scene starts with two people that look like they could be together, slowly getting into an argument, and as the fact that the audience are focused on the argument, we don't really realise the certain clues that he is a robot, and therefore it is a surprise.

The second plot twist may seem less surprising as people may have seen it coming, this twist involves the woman ordering a new robot she customised herself and it shows the same situation as the first scene happening again, and this is when you realise that actually she may be a robot, and the twist is the fat that the new robot she ordered reversed the roles with what she done to the 1st robot and switches her power off.

However this first plot twist does not seem very logical in the fact that although he was a robot, it would make no sense to the fact that she is sitting down eating with a robot acting like it is her husband and then starting an argument with him. It also is not logical in the fact that it defies the actual idea of a robot where we  are set to think that a robot should be there to serve and help out the owner with tasks.

Narrative forms

Question - evaluate how successfully your film develops one of the key narratives listed? The film 'portal' develops a narrative by the elements of mystery, character development and the twist it holds at the end of the film. Throughout the film the surroundings and actions of the main character is used to create a narrative where there is a huge twist at the end of the film this twist occurs when their is a reversal of fortune for the main character where as we start to find out that she is in a simulation as the character begins to think she has escaped the 'prison' but in fact she is trapped in a simulation, however certain audiences may have realised this when during the film you can see a barcode on her neck and the fact that the main weapon, the portal gun is seen to just appear out of no where. This narrative is effective because it gives the audience a sense of confusion as this twist adds on top of the mystery of that fact why the woman was in the room overall.

CONNECT SHORT FILM ANALYSIS - JULIAN

Connect explores how imagination and emotion binds in with the real life, one major factor that shows this is when the camera shows all of the civilians faces on the bus by uing close hand held shots. When the camera zooms in on their faces they look emotionless, almost as if they are disjointed from reality, from the real world. This could be because they are imagining certain things and feeeling emotion on the inside. When the girl puts in her headphones as the music fades in she also zones out and starts imagining things primarily being shown that as soon as she zones out all of a sudden the businessman assassinates the old lady to take her seat, but then the girl zones back in so the music is stopped and the scenery is back to normal.
