Short film-'Chicken a la carte'

This film is showing the seriousness of poverty and world hunger that is still going on to this day, and is trying to send out an important message showing that this is a true story and how thousands of people die each . The story starts off by two people going into a fast food place ordering food and sitting down eating it, the camera work is unsteady making you feel that you are also there with them, similar to how a documentry is filmed. The music is sounding quite serious and dramatic at this point. The story then goes on to reveal that the left over food from the restaurant gets taken and goes to families and young children who are too poor to afford to eat and they then start to eat the left over chicken half eaten by other people. This is when the sad music starts to kick in, roughly half way through when showing that the left over’s are being taken. This is to create a sad emotion by the audience for these people having to go through this. This type of film is aimed at any person who comes across this and views it, as its something everyone should be aware that this is going on. This film was made to be entered into a competition to be shown at a film festival, and won most popular short film as a result of this.
