In this film ‘My Mother’s House’, the subject is based on abortion. The film does not show an abortion but uses a metaphor for it. The intention of the producer is to show abortion is horrific and distressing. This is shown by the metaphor of the girl trying to escape from the doctor who is trying to get her in her mother’s house. She calls for help but her mother is nowhere, she rings her father he doesn’t reply either. I think it’s a cause film and the implied target audience is for women who are pregnant. The potential certification is a 12a as the underlying message would need explaining, the actual film does not contain high levels of violence or nudity etc. There is no distribution as the film is made as a showcase to the industry. The key characters are the young girl, the doctor and the mother. The setting is in the girl’s mother’s house which is meant to be safe; this is a metaphor to the safety in the womb. The soundtrack contains some lullaby music which makes you think the mother loves the girl, but when the doctor appears, killer music is played (eight note cello line played on a Kurzweil 250). The form of this is a drama film. I think this film is peculiar and it is hard to figure out the underlying message. The music was good as it flowed with the film and was tense.
