George Lucas In Love by Joe Nussbaum (1999)

Synoptic
George Lucas has 3 days to finish a script to graduate from college. He has no ideas so he decides to walk to the theature to gather some ideas. On the way he bump into loads of people who remind you of people that are in 'Star Wars'. When he arrivies to the theature he meets a girl called Marian (with her hair done up in buns on the sides of her head) who encourages him to write what he knows and feels.

This short film is a Romanic comedy. The opening starts with george lucas writing on a typewriter, he writes he start of what is on the actual Star Wars. This short film is a good parody on Star wars with the intertexual references. It has diegetic and non diegetic sounds, the non diegetic sounds make the atmosphere different. this short film is good for post modernism.

Day break express by D.A. Pennebaker (1953)

This short is film is based around a train journey from sunrise to sunset at the soon-to-be-demolished Third Avenue elevated subway station in New York City, America. This 5 minute short film was the first film that Pennebaker made, it is under a documentary genre as it shows a journey. 

This short film has non diegetic music over the top, this means that the music has been put in from another source. The music is ambient so it gives you a certian feel for it when watching it. It is filmed in colour which is quite early and it is developed very well. The journey is filmed very well the camera play is very different. It's like he has experimented with his angles. This is filmed during the end of modernism so you can see how he is experimenting and how the genres and times are changing. He is filming in new york so you can see the developing building and how everything's getting bigger and changing.
