Who and why?

Mood & AtmosphereWe are trying

to create several different moods within the piece, for example, in some areas it will be happy and comedic, and in others it will be sad and dramatic. Also at times quite melodramatic.

How is Rose unique?

Our short film is unique for many reasons:

It is in black and white, except for one key item, the rose.

It is a silent movie, this is very un common in recent years, and unique for the time period.
