Short film research

An Ode To Modern Democracy And The Hairdresser -
This is a short film about a teenage girl who dropped out of school at the age of 16 and worked in a shoe factory however she takes a course in college and becomes a hairdresser who cuts the primeministers hair once a month. Throughout the whole film the hairdresser is the narrator and she is thinking of giving the primeminister a bad hair cut, she talks about the history and the polotics and thinks that she could become famous by doing it by thinking that she can become famous she does give him a bad haircut which you dont see however at the end as she ‘accedently’ put the razor on grade one. The hairdresser is shown to be living the fairly average life, she is chewing gum and she keeps a fairly straight face throughout the clip which may show she is very good at her job as most people would be more nervous and cautious about cutting the primeministers hair. Around the middle of the clip there are pictures of the priminister with wacky haircuts which creates a sense of humor and shows the audience what his hair could look like. At another time in the clip they use animations too show just how unprotected the primeminister is which I think works very well. At the begining of the clip their was establishing shots to show that she is a hairdresser and panning shots to change the focus from the audience to the primeminister.
