He's easily hurt by people around him, since he riles himself up. It's very selfish of him to start rummaging through Amy's profile without her consent. His dishonesty shines through when he goes on Chatroulette and starts talking to another girl, seeming cool and casual.

Characterize Noah

Noah is an insecure teenage boy. He is dishonest, because he tries to bring a better picture of himself to girls. He pretends he knows things that matter to the girls. Noah goes on his girlfriend's Facebook profile, just to check if she is cheating on him, that makes him kind of selfish because he doesn’t give her space in her personal life. He doesn’t think of her feelings, he acts too fast, because he changed her status from “in a relationship” to “single”. He ends up hurting himself, because, in the end his girlfriend wasn’t cheating, it was just her gay friend.

The short film is about a boy named Noah who has a girlfriend named Amy. Noah logs in on her facebook account and reads the messages she has received from a guy named Dylan about a date and a lot of other flirty things. Noah gets angry and breaks up with Amy and removes him as a girlfriend on facebook. The movie ends with them not talking anymore.

Everything in the short film is mediated through Noah's computer screen- What is the effect of this? would it be possible to make the same film, without it taking place on a computer screen? Why/why not? 

  • We see what he sees. We don’t get to see the look on his face, we don’t know how he feels only when we hear the music that matches his mood. So in that case it is more about action then it is emotions. We see it from his perspektiv.
  • We don't think it would be the same message if we saw his or her face throughout the whole movie cause here we have to guess their emotions a bit and the whole story is about the internet so if it has to be in real life it would be a whole other story or message.

In the beginning of the short film we meet the tennageboy Noah who is sitting with his computer browsing on the internet. He has a girlfriend and they talk on skype. Noah isn’t “present” because he is browsing around on different websites. His girlfriends keep talking about his future where she wouldn’t get in the way of his plans. She hangs up on Noah and he starts to get paranoid and doesn't trust her. Later he hacks into her facebook account and thinks she is cheating on Noah with another boy. He gets so jealous that he ends up changing her relationship status to single on her profile. His girlfriend realised that he had hacked her profile and blocked him.   


Do you think it’s okay to hack your girlfriend’s or boyfriend’s account just to make sure? Is it ok that Noah logs into his girlfriend's account? If you answered no - Could there be times when it is okay? If you answered yes, then why?
We think it’s wrong to hack your boyfriend’s or girlfriend’s account because it’s practically illegal. He steals her identity which is very illegal. It's wrong morally to hack anyones account because your profile is very private and the hacker can do a lot of damage by sending fake messages and posting something and pretending to be her.      
There could be times where it is okay to log in or borrow someone's account. For example if your boyfriend/girlfriend gives you permission to log in on your account or you are looking at your account when you are sitting next to each other.

He thinks that his girlfriend cheated on him, and he is taking the situation in his own hand. Noah logs in on her facebook profile, where he checks her messages, he sees that she got a message from a guy named Dylan. Noah gets jealous, and changes her status to single on facebook. The short film ends with them not talking to each other. 

The film’s title is “Noah”. Why do you think the film is called that? Could it be a symbol of something? Why do you think is the message of the short film?

The Title of the short film is Noah b ecause he is the main character and it’s a reference to Noah’s arc. Noah from Noah's arc learns something just like Noah from the short film. He learns that you have to respect others' privacy and we can’t live our whole life through social media. Noah from Noah’s arc sails away in a boat from the deluge, and Noah from the short film, has arrived to a place without social media. 

Noah means sadness. We think that the name is comforting for Noah. And that's why the short film is called Noah.

Is it primarily about teenage love and break-ups or social media? Or something else? https://padlet.com/cba27/m9kvvg51ge86n0hm/wish/1788976691 The whole short film takes place on Noah's computer and phone. It's also about how you can easily misunderstand each other on social media, and the bad sides of social media, we see that in the film when “Noah” goes into his girlfriend's facebook and changes her page from taken to single and they break up because of that. The other main theme is teenage love and break-ups, since he face-times with his girlfriend and after she leaves the call he overthinks the situation, and it ends up in a breakup and we see how he deals with that. 

The film also deals with jealousy since the only reason they break up is because he gets jealous of a boy, who she has been writing with. Even though they are just friends, because of miscommunication he believes that she is cheating on him and therefore thinks it is okay to pry into her things.

From whose point of view is the story told in this short film? Is that consistent throughout the film or are other points of view shown? What is the effect of using this point of view?
 
The story is told from Noah's point of view without presenting anyone else's point of view, which means we don't see the whole picture, which also means that the story is incomplete and the self-narrator is an unreliable narrator who spends most of the story trying to convince the reader of something. .
It also means that reaching the reader from the narrator's perspective of the events, characters and plot is much easier.

He ends the relationship without saying anything to Amy, he ignores her for a long time.
The reason why he locks in to her profile, is because he is insecure about their relationship, and he thinks Amy is cheating.
Meanwhile he's locked in on Amy's account, he reads Amy and Dylan's messages, and thats when he wanted to break up with her.

The setting is on Noahs screen while Noah talking too Amy he is on another website. He is on her Facebook and read all her messages but then he found a message  from a guy named Dylan. Noah is getting insecure and is endinig it with Amy, without telling her. He logs of and ignore everything.
