Two cars, one night Question 3 Analyze the relationships between the two boys and the relationship between Romeo and Polly. How are these relationships made clear to the audience by the director’s use of technical elements? The short film ‘two cars, one night’ is about two boys (Romeo and Eddy) and a girl (Polly) meeting in a car park of a rural area in Te Kaha. At the start of the film there seems to be a relationship based on rivalry between Romeo and Polly but then it soon develops into a close friendship. When the children are sitting in their cars Romeo becomes restless and bored and decides to talk to the girl and like any 9-year-old boy he uses his wit and charm to try and impress Polly. Eventually Polly also responds and makes fun out of Romeo, this is where their relationship starts. Eventually Romeo leaves his car and makes his way to the car park and then to Polly’s window and then into Polly’s car. This shows how fast the relationship between Romeo and Polly has grown. During their time together in Polly’s car, they share a moment when she lets Romeo look at her ‘diamond ring’. At the end of their relationship Polly gives Romeo the ring to increase their relationship, as she doesn’t want Romeo to forget about her and Romeo takes the ring so that he doesn’t forget about her either. Also the focus pulls of when they are holding their diffirent objects shows their diffirent lifestyles and how they feel towards life e.g. the ring that Polly is holding is giving us the idea that she wants to be taken away by somebody wealthy. The relationship between Romeo and Eddy is very diffirent compared to Romeo and Polly’s relationship. There are lots of focus pulls between the two characters to show whose important at what time. Eddy has a relaxed and confident attitude towards life and just goes with the flow but Romeo is always trying to be the big man.
