Overall, I think that the structure of this short film was relatively simple but effective because it built up to a climax then tied everything off with a smooth ending. The film began with a question provoking opening that uses vibrant colours to produce a happy mood whilst hinting at certain ideas whilst also leaving it open for questions about what is happening.
The focus is shifted very smoothly to the next section through Emily mentioning Mary and then Mary entering. Through all of this, the audience can relate to Rob because he is trying to help Emily and is finding out new pieces of information that help him guide Emily to the right decision and so is the audience. Mary and Emily are arguing with Rob feeling quite awkward in the middle of it and both Mary and Emily using Rob to argue against the other which puts Rob in an uncomfortable situation which helps to amplify the argument and make it tenser. This is good because if Rob is feeling uncomfortable then it can get the audience more involved because they are similar to Rob in the fact that they don't know the full story.
The plot twist in the fact that it isn't Emily's wedding is smooth and takes a second to realise which helps the movement of the focus because it helps develop character arcs and the story line but doesn't stop the rhythm of the film. This leads to quick transition where Emily goes to the Church and you can see the conflict in her mind because she is trying to be confident by putting her faith in love but is also being swayed by Mary and Rob which causes suspense as she finds her final hiding spot. Emily's facial expressions help elevate the pressure until the suspense is released when she gives in to her friends and she does the right thing.
The relationship between Mary and Emily is sorted when Mary kneed Emily in the face and then they make up in the Church which ties off their relationship. The film ends with Rob teasing Emily about her mistakes which show how their relationship has developed and when they leave together it hints at their relationship developing but leaves it up to the audience to decide in their own minds what happens next.
In conclusion, I really like the simplistic and clean structure that is easy to watch and enjoy as well as the characters that become really developed in only 14 minutes. I think that the relationship between Emily and Rob was really funny and you could see that as they became more familiar with each other they were developing their relationship although I would have liked to see more or Rob and Mary's relationship because I think that it would be really interesting to have seen their disagreement at the beginning begin to form into friendship and respect for each other at the end.
