SHORT FILMSREVIEW First Impressions Director:
Amber O’Dell Certificate: 12A Short Film, Dark Rom Com Sibling rivalry: Charlotte High, Beth Izatt Reviewed by David McKnight As a young person comes to find who they are from adolescence to adulthood, they find themselves . ‘First Impressions’ captures this unique time perfectly, relying on the premise of a 17-year-old girl experiencing a first date which is tarnished by a series of evening-ruining events, mainly caused by her obnoxious older sister. Director O’Dell conducts an outstanding character study, exploring the highs and lows of young love. The struggles and obstacles of adolescent love and growing up are a subject that O’Dell frequently explores. Here, she proves she can present a uniquely superlative perception of the conventional narrative of woefully love-struck young people. The theme of a budding, new relationship is juxtaposed by the damaged relationship of the sisters. O’Dell’s decision to use inexperienced actors in the film links back to her roots in social realism. The natural, unpolished performances provide an entirely realistic set of characters and a narrative which is expertly achieved through the director’s impeccable choreography and pacing. Echoing Katie Jarvis in Fish Tank, Beth Izatt’s portrayal of the sister brings a fresh energy to the film. Though she is portrayed as an antagonist to our main character, she manages to be a character that can either be completely disliked or admired and identifiable for the audience. She tends to be the catalyst for the element of dark comedy in the film. Her character is well drawn but is ultimately a narrative device and her purpose is to create havoc and destroy the evening– and in effect the blossoming relationship. The protagonist (Charlotte High) gives a performance that is both honest and emotionally intelligent throughout. High’s naturalistic portrayal makes it easier for us to relate to the character she constructs—timidly docile at times but feisty in others. Moving on to the date, a similarly aged, an almost completely silent character, his role in the film is less meaningful and more demonstrative. In accordance with the symmetry of the film, along with the older sister, he is also a device, produced in order to develop the story of the main character in greater depth, providing the protagonist with an incredibly dissatisfying experience in order to prepare her for her destined fortune with the plumber. There is an underlying feeling of sexual tension between the two teenagers, reminiscent of films such as This is England, for example in the relationship between Smell and Shaun. Any romantic spark we might detect at the beginning of their encounter is rapidly doomed to crash and burn before it has even begun., when the sister enters the scene, SYNOPSIS A house shared by two sisters. One who has taken on the role of housekeeper and carer for the two and an older sister who provides little more than a few spiteful remarks. The sisters share an awkward moment in the kitchen. Later that evening, the boy arrives for the date. They are interrupted by the older sister. The sister’s presence continues to grow more of a burden and she makes the couple very uncomfortable. The animosity between the sisters soon becomes very clear and the girl requests to speak to her sister for a moment in private. Away from the boy, the girl confronts her sister, accusing her of trying to sabotage the date. A plumber is soon added to on to the already disastrous evening. He is here to fix the leaky sink. The younger sister soon begins to confront the older girl which sparks an argument and ends with the girl slapping her sister. The plumber quickly enlists the girl to help him repair the sink which presents a welcome distraction. They share a tender moment. When the sink is fixed, the plumber tells the girl that there is still time to salvage the evening. He leaves and the girl follows him. Just before she walks out the door, she tells the sister and boy she is leaving and returns to book to the boy. The boy and sister are left awkwardly in the wake of the evening and the boy offers his book of poetry to the sister. CREDIT Directed by: Amber O’Dell Written by: Amber O’Dell Produced by: Varshini Yogaeswaran Assistant director: Christina Gadsby Director of Photography: Aimee Lee Sound: Kasharna Williams Editor: Megan Windmill Costume Design: Grace Johannsson Cinematography: Chloe Rigby Production Design: Christopher Risk © Rankin Productions, LLC Production Companies: A Rankin Production in association with Sunset Studios CAST Charlotte High Girl Beth Izatt Sister Aiden Dearlove Date James Homan Crust Plumber Distributor: LGV Films The modernistic style that can be seen in aspects such as the mise en scene, location and relationships of the film are reminiscent of her directorial debut ‘Off her head’. In contrast to most short films, O’Dell tends to favour medium shots, rather than the conventional close and wide shots. Some beautifully framed shots can be seen through the film. The bright and ‘squeaky clean’ aesthetic qualities of the film are rendered more complex by the ambiguous tone. Some scenes are incredibly vivid and warm in terms of colour and other scenes feel somewhat monochrome with cool undertones. Again, this is closely linked to the style of O’Dell’s first cinematic endeavour in which the tone of the film shifts with a move from a monochrome hue to bright, lucid colour. A bold stylistic choice of the film which could have been a potential hazard; however, it has been skilfully and carefully navigated by O’Dell. The sense of awkward comfort is unmistakeably encoded in the intricate selection of colour and lighting. For example, the lighting and tone during the date scene communicates the mood of awkwardness and the general feeling that something isn’t quite right within the combination of these particular characters in the scene. The film’s themes of relationships and youth are not unexplored territory in film narrative, the feature that sets this film apart from others is the hybridised genre, the film is built on a foundation of a classic rom com with a dose of black comedy. There is a certain symmetry that is evident in both the aesthetic of the film and the relationships of the characters, this is just one of the many aspects of the style and form of the film that made it stand out greatly in comparison to other films about relationships. There is an elaborate, almost perfectionist symmetry between the characters that changes throughout the film, and melds perfectly with the film’s form. This symmetry starts with the unresolved and obvious conflict between the sisters at the beginning of the film, which continues throughout until the entrance of the plumber. His entrance changes the group dynamic from the uncomfortable threesome to a steady set of couplets, with the protagonist siding with this new, neutralising character and the older sister and date frankly abandoned. We come full circle and this shift provides the audience with some sense of resolution, a feeling as though the sister and even the date have been dealt with some form of karma for the evening and the protagonist is provided with a new start and a new chance for the titular first impression. As a whole, the film is a sharp and original perspective of young love in the modern age, the film subverts the Shakespeare-esque idea of a monogamous be– all end-all and instead gives the young protagonist not only a chance to escape her car-crash of a date, but the choice to establish a new identity, outside of her relationship with her sister. We are left with a satisfying outcome, the timid protagonist taking charge of her life and following her own path. The film has great potential and is tipped to be very successful on the short film festival circuit. 63 | General Release | Issue 36 April 2017
