Noah

This is the most great way to tell this story. Shooting a computer screen can be really tricky and you can mess it up easily but they did an amazing job. Film directs you to where you have to look. so this makes the film very easy to watch and also it enables you to focus on the content more deeply and really see what is going on in Noah's head. I have never seen something like this before and i loved it. The little details that a teenager does on a daily basis on his/her computer makes this story so real. Actually the story is not unique on its own but how they put on in front of us makes it all.

So since i started making short films i learned and understood from experience how hard is to find inovative way to visualy tell small every-day story within 10 minutes or so. Especially the problem is that story doesnt work if it is not rounded. ALSO, to round a story in 10 min it really need to be a very low key story, and low key stories are kinda boring. So creativ visual storytelling is all you have to keep audience engaged. This film excels at latter. But the one thing they didnt do, the story is not rounded.

But i believe they didnt do it on purpose, we who experienced in some way similar thing with a girl can relate so much more than others i believe, and i feel like this movie is there to be relatable to those people. Its like the music that is used for this picture, sorrow for the sake of sorrow if i can say it like that. And also in real life sometimes when people make mistakes those mistakes are never redeemed and you're just left with nothing but to accept it like "it is what it is". So the same thing aplies for the end of this movie - "It is what it is", story over, restness will always remain.

I haven't seen such a rich way of storytelling and humor deliverance until i saw this short film, it has it's unique ways of telling the personality of the guy behind the computer, and the actions shown on screen (whether it is a chatting room, internet statuses, web-cams, among others) have a very convincing way of delivering it's character development and a smart story puzzle that can be set up by it's own audience, this, with sprinkles of black humour presented in clever visual comedy with such honesty about human behavior, the way people connect and share experiences through modern technology, and when it does end, it is sort of heart-breaking also, but the way it settles it's honesty and doesn't fall into typical teenage movie trappings is also one of the little things that "Noah" does well enough to deserve recognition and take note of the clever visual metaphors applied to perform it's simple yet creatively honest and darkly hilarious plot on the best and most relatable way possible. "Noah" is a must see. And, not talking about the Darren Aronofsky's one.

I didn't see Noah - I only saw a little bit from Tony Zhou's video (His channel is called Every Frame is a Painting). There is a film called Search obviously took the idea of screen recording.

Eventually, we need to face the dehumanization that lurks on the internet. I am concerned by the awful desensitized world here. All I could think of while watching (most of this) is why would anyone care. These people and their massive egos present themselves and then lie back, having really done nothing but exploit what little they have of interest to share. I won't go any farther. It's a creative piece but it really didn't show me anything new, other than a bunch of technology being used instead of creative filmmaking.
