a Computer Screen Short Cuts Canada Festival 2013 anylsis mise-en-scene

Noah tells the story of a boy, a girl, a Facebook account, and the new vistas of communication we are living with every day. Created by Canadian film students Walter Woodman and Patrick Cederberg ,the film recently debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival. 

A film just computer screen, the setup for the story is as old as love stories: a boy and girl ponder their imminent separation (going away to college), but everything we see is mediated through the boy’s computer screen — the Skype window he uses to chat with his girlfriend, the Facebook chats he has with friends, even a brief dalliance with Chatroulette can all be considered to be “sets” the filmmakers used to make their movie.
