This is the Life from Craig Dean Devine on Vimeo.

this is the life is about a family who have to deal with tha return of the father an tha person who has to deal with this the most is the young son.
it deals with the issue of a family member going into prison and how their family copes with that especailly with younger children
it also deals with how the family must adjust to life without that person when they are in prison and also hpw they have to adjust again once they are set free from prison.


all the wat through the piece the same music is used which can symbolise the wat in which the young boy may be feeling because when he 1st see's his father he does nothing because he doesn't know how to react as he is too young whereas his sister is very happy to see her father and runs up to him to embrace him, also the 1st shot of the father is a close up of him smoking and as soon as he see's his kids he stops smoking an starts crying, this shows his emotion to seeing his kids and shows that he hasn't seen them in a very long time


towards the end we see the family coming together and becoming stronger as they go bowling as a family and the relationship between father and son is restored

on the whole this short film shows a wise range of conventions and camera shots and also attention to detail with the story
