Story-Telling: The Most Beautiful Thing (Short Film)

I recently discovered this heartwarming short film on YouTube and I'm so happy I found it because it gave me some inspiration for my own story.

The short film is question is called The Most Beautiful Thing:


It's about a shy young guy who falls in love with a deaf girl. He struggles to find a way to ask her to prom and after witnessing her being kissed by another guy, he thinks he has no chance. However, as he walks away from her, she shouts and explains to him what happened. He then signs back and asks her to go to prom. The two of them then hug passionately as the film ends.

It's a wonderful story and I enjoyed every second of it. The film itself won an award and the actor won an award too.

I have taken some inspiration from this film in terms of the minimal dialogue and the way in which it was shot. I loved how the writer was able to tell such a brilliant story without actually using that much dialogue. For my own story I need to think of a way of telling it using minimal dialogue. I also like the way the film was shot; it had a very light and calm feel to it, something I'd like to come across in my own project.

It's a brilliant film and I'd highly recommend you check it out!
