The Short Film Colourbleed By Peter Szewczyk

The short film Colourbleed by Peter Szewczyk is an incredible work of art. It effectively incorporated all essential pieces of a great film while adding a few unique twists. There was even an interwoven theme of cruelty.
To begin with, most people usually notice the visuals in a film first. For example Colourbleed was very colorful with all the graffiti and paint but it was combined with so many other great pieces of audio which enhanced it, such as the little amount of dialogue coupled with the music in the background. This is a very effective technique overall since these three things bring out the best of each other and give the audience the best viewing and listening pleasure.
Speaking of which, sound is a huge aspect to this short film. There is diegetic sound in the form of what actions are being done--a bus moving, the old lady stamping the protagonist’s hand, a spray can

For example we start off the film on a face and only a face. This leads us to believe they are the main character which is a very effective technique. Also one of many extreme close ups used is on the hand. The hand is a very important part of the story and is expressed this way clearly by having it be the only thing on the screen. This is a great way to convey something of importance and show that it has meaning. Which is does because it is the main part of the storyline with what happens to the woman.
There were some great film effects that contributed to the film overall. The slow mo hummingbird really captured how long it was taking for the woman to move and how this could annoy the other people The blurry background helped to show that the person in the back wasn't important just what he said was. The fade to black was a great way to transition into the next scene.
Overall, Peter Szewczyk produced a masterfully well done short film. This was due to his usage of effective film techniques and having a great
