Another one of my favourite films which I found whilst researching is the short film ‘Signs’. Signs is about a man and a woman who communicate across the street with the use of written signs. You immediately know that the main subject of the film is about communication, with the intention being the importance of falling in love through communication.
Signs has two main actors, who both play the roles of office workers. They notice each other across the road through the windows of their parallel office blocks and throughout the film you see them begin to fall in love. The setting of the two office blocks, with windows that look upon each other is crucial to the narrative as it allows the possibility that two people can form a relationship with the communication of signs. This film was distributed at various film festivals and was awarded first place at the Cannes film festival. In conclusion, the main aspect which I like about this film is the soundtrack. This is because the film does not have any speech in it. I believe that this is because it emphasises the fact that they can only communicate with the signs and not through speech. However, throughout the film, composed music can be heard which imitates the emotions of the characters, changing tempo to represent them being bored, happy and sad. Overall, I definitely feel that Signs was very effective in delivering the theme of communication to the audience.
