This was a pretty unconventional piece due to its lack of dialogue and intricate use of sound. It impressed me in many ways such as its incredible ability to get the audience to empathize with a little girl who doesn't even speak. The sound design is truly excellent and makes me hopeful for what I might be able to achieve in the future. It's nice to be reminded that sound design does play such an important role and can even be one of the main elements of a film.
All the shots are tremendously well considered. Everything seems to be done to make the girl appear small and fragile in this world on divers and synchronized swimmers. The use of soft focus for the final underwater shots is pretty superb and really gets across that dreamy feel. We almost don't know if this is an actual event or not. It is beautiful to look at and, in terms of the narrative, pretty upbeat and optimistic.
