Research on films from the film network

Two & Two
In a school governed by a strict regime, the pupils are informed that simple facts are no longer true. .
In a drab, anonymous grey school governed by a strict authoritarian regime, an apparently unremarkable day is turned on its head following a seemingly ridiculous announcement.
Disbelieving at first, the all-male, identically uniformed pupils are informed that what they had always been taught as fact is no longer true. When the incredulous students speak out, what initially seems laughably absurd becomes desperately real as they are forced to question how far they will go to stand up for their beliefs.
Two & Two is an allegory for the absurdness of dictatorship and tyranny - and the resilience of the human spirit.
In the first 2minutes we see a grey ‘prison-like’ class room with simply desk, chairs and a chalkboard: the children are noisy at first but as soon as the teacher walks in they are quiet and obedient we a general view of the class room, then we see a boy trying to stand up in what he believes is right  The cut from when we see the three older boys pretending to hold a gun and we cut from a straight on view to a side view

A drama based on a true story about the emotional and psychological impact of sex trafficking from the point of view of the victim.
In the first 2 minutes we are shown the main character and a bit about her hopes and dreams and what she has already achieved as she explains them in an voice over with clips running behind it. The whole movie is like a play that has been filmed as we see the audience and there reaction to some scenes
The cuts were quite jumpy in certain parts


The View 
The emotional connections experienced by different visitors to a picturesque coastal location.
The View is a short poetic film that centers around a bench overlooking the British coastline. During the film we are witness to poignant moments in the lives of the location's fictionalised frequent visitors, who each have a different reason for being there. A poem written for the film carries the narrative through from start to finish.
The movie begins with a voice over and an old couple where then man has just proposed to the woman. The movie is based around a bench by the cost and different people s experiences and life troubles by the bench, the voice over explains how ‘there is always a sunrise after a sunset in life’ and how things will always get better 
The characters all had a similar role and equal part in how long they were filmed for. The cuts were fairly slow and scenes were similar in length http://www.bbc.co.uk/filmnetwork/films/p00ny05m
