Magazine Review Planning

Director - Steven Jones
Screenwriters -Steven Jones
Cast - David Green, Rachel Shea
Running time - 6 minutes Approx.

Plot - Set in an average surban area a comparison of two brothers choices is shown. But what choices are the best?

Main Article - When I first came across Steven Jones's short film, "Connected", I did not really know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised by the unique and clever use of split screen throughout the film which is not normally seen in today's media. The use of split screen was very effective and a clever comparison of the two protagonists personalities was show very clearly.

The character development was clearly shown throughout the short. Both the characters possessed very different personalities which both developed throughout the short by the brilliant acting skills of the protagonist clearly showing the different personalities that the two characters possess in the film. The choices that the two protagonists made and the way they interacted with other characters made me almost feel as if I could connect with them because one was happy and one was unhappy and everyone has their own happy and unhappy days.


VERDICT - A down to earth short, focusing on the personality choices we have to make on a daily basis. Generally entertaining and remarkably clever.
