The Fish and I

The Fish and I

In this 90 second film there is a blind man with a fish. At the start of the film the fish is flopping on the floor because the bowl that it lives in has fallen over and smashed. The fish then stops flopping and it cuts to a man with a jug of water. The man is blind and cannot find his fish. A phone is ringing in the background while the man searches for his fish. This could mean that the fish’s life is almost over. While moving his hands over the floor, the man finds a plug hole. He then takes off his shirt and blocks the plug hole. The video then cuts to the man filling his jug up with water. He does this repeatedly and floods his kitchen to make an attempt at saving his fish. After he thinks that the depth of the water is large enough the man searches for his fish again and fails. He loses hope. The video then cuts to the man’s hand and the fish has survived. The fish swims into the man’s hand. He realizes and his hand moves so that he doesn’t squish his fish. The use of a black and white filter shows that the video is sad. This is then gone against when the fish swims into his hand. The clip then has a happy ending. Then the man blocks the plug whole he is wearing an expensive looking shirt. This is what he uses to block up the plug hole. This is how much the fish means to him. When the kitchen is shown that some plate on a rack. This shows that the blind man is still able to do normal things even though he is blind. The man also has all of the things in his kitchen are where they are supposed to be when you use them. This is to help him because he is blind.
