My Thoughts on Telling Lies by Simon Ellis

I really loved this short film because you could truly relate with it due to it being what a large portion of our generation think on a daily basis. I found the whole short story plot very interesting and also very clever due to the story line that had been thought through and the use of the White words in the film that symbolised the White lies that were being told, it also tells the truth when it says " you don't seem very bothered" and in the White it says he is banging a rich women instead this shows that the White text also tells us what he is really thinking and what's on his mind. The use of the various voices made the whole story relatable because you we're able to distinguish the different emotions in their voices, I found this very clever in the portrayal of the story. I felt in my opinion that there were a few sections in this film which I didn't really understand the context behind it but it still made quite a dramatic effect and irony. 
I didn't truly like the moment of the words on the screen really quickly because I had just finished reading the next bit and then I would miss what came next or I didn't see the White lies on the screen so I didn't feel that was done as well as it could have. I did like the colour choice on the screen of the black, white, green and orange. Overall I felt this short film was constructed in a very clever yet dysfunctional manor but the Thought behind it was very interesting.
