"Is this free" is a funny comedy short about a man giving various funny responses to people asking if a seat is a available to sit on.
The majority of the shots utilize tight over the shoulder mid shots that are used in a conversation pieces as most of the action are taking place between two characters. This allows the film makers to establish a relationship between the character and to show easily show the reaction of the character that walks into the scene.
It also uses a pull focus where it goes between two characters, this does a good job of highlighting an interaction between characters that you didn't realize were going to interact with.
One thing that the film does well is it's lighting, you don't really realize it until you look carefully due to it fitting the atmosphere well. The lighting used in the cafe is quite soft orange lighting and at times it feels like a natural sun light is coming through the window leaving a nice white glow on the actors face in places it's supposed to be. For the outdoor scene, the sun is always behind them leaving a nice black lit glow that doesn't overexpose the shot creating a nice aurora around the characters.
This film was really well shot and is worth viewing, not just for the technically but also the humor as well.
