Audience Negotiates Meaning

I didn't really enjoy the short film strange invaders because it was hard to understand and confusing at first. At the beggining I thought that it was actually happening but at the end it turned out that it was a dream and I do not like films that end like this since it seems almost point less. I enjoyed the short film runaway though because it was right to the point and very easy to understand. Throughout the film you understand what is happening and are interested enough to watch it through to the end to see what is happening. The other short film that I watched was Uncle Bob's Hospital Visit. I liked some of this video and other parts I didn't. I thought that there was alot of great detail and there was thought bubbles where you could see what he was thinking which was more interesting than if he just talked about it. I didn't like that time seemed too move to quickly and you didn't really have a good sense of time. This film would be best suited for a younger audience because of the concepts in the film.
