Flattened by Life
I think that this is really good at emphasizing the weight of stress and how life can put you down. I liked the way they used different locations to represent that it affects anyone and everyone. It uses mainly vertical shots and high angles to try and not make any of the characters have any type of imaginary power. It used lots of different locations as well just as shopping markets and houses etc...
It also involves a lot of people looking almost 'dead' into the camera. This helped evoke the emotional effect i believe they were going for.

The Date
It's a unique and strange video that I am not quite sure has a message just all in all a good fun movie. It had a very strange yet fun twist towards the end as the people on 'the date' got there food taken by a Velociraptor this is a very unique design and strange idea. The world they are in looks quite 'Primeval' and as if it is in the early stages of life. Just as there date is in the early stages of love. This made for a very unique and different film which in the end made it an appealing and memorable piece.

The Whale
This a video of what i presume to be a whale hunter searching for a whale in the sea however he does not know he has moored his boat and is stood on top of the whale. I feel the message in this is that sometimes the things we desire we don't need or we already have everything we need. This has a very unique animated style and uses that style to evoke the dark 'world' we live in. It is almost like on e of those pop up moving books. This gives it a very unique and appealing to the eye style.
