Paper Or Plastic - Short Film

This is a short film by Doug Smith. It tells the story of a girl who the audience assume to be an average teenage student when we learn that she wears a paper bag on her head. The narrative is that a boy likes her however she feels too embarassed so to 'win the girl' he decides to wear a paper bag on his head too.
Using Maslow's theory on the Hierarchy of Needs, this film would fit into Esteem and Love/Belonging as the female protagonist has no confidence due to a face deformity, however the film isn't giving the message to confront confidence issues but it does look at what people do to avoid them. I don't think this film has a particularly high level of verisimilitude because there are barely, if any, people that wear paper bags on their head; if anything I think this would draw more attention to them being different than if they didn't.
The narrative is linear, revealing the order of events as they happen. It has a closed narrative because the guy gets the girl following the theory of Domaille who believes that every story can fit in to a certain narrative type, in this case I think it's a Romeo and Juliet narrative or Love Story.
