Fall

"Fall" (also known as "The Fall") was a short film shot and originally edited in December 2007 during Jensen Entertainment and Red Starr Productions unintentional "Year of Filmmaking." It was written and directed by Brandon Scott Jensen. It was preceeded by "the end" and followed by "The Mark," "Fall 2" and the feature-length movie "Canon."

Collectively, the shorts are known as ". This movie marks the SECOND in that series.

Story
It tells the story of Joshua, a guardian angel who has fallen in love with the women he is to guard, Evangeline. After learning from The Archangel Gabriel that the couple are "highly compatible, but not soul-linked," Joshua gives up his humanity to be with Evangeline for as long as they live on earth together. The price Joshua will pay, however, is his immortal soul as a living angel without a soul-mate can only lie while on earth.

Continuity
The short follows "the end," and shares continuity with it only in the character of Cynthia who shows up as Evangeline's friend. It was not originally developed as a link to "the end," but Jensen couldn't resist bringing Cynthia back, and so the characters of Joshua, Evangeline, her daemon, Damon, and The Archangel Gabriel each became a part of the Canon continuity. Although neither Ely nor Luc appear in this short, a photo of Ely, and his wife Mary are on the walls in the Heaven Inc. office.

Origins
The origins of the story go back to when Jensen was a young teenager and thought that a story about a guardian angel falling in love with his or her human would be intruiging. But the movie "City of Angels" detered Jensen from completing the idea. Like "the end," this idea was ressurected in order to continue filmmaking.

Tecnichal
The short follows in the footsteps of movies like "The Wizard of Oz," or "Brother Bear" in that a visual change is made when a character change is made. Whereas "The Wizard of Oz" shifts from Black and White into colour when Dorthy arrives in Oz, and "Brother Bear" shifts aspect ratio from 1.85:1 to 2.35:1 when Kenai becomes a bear, "Fall" shifts from Standard Definition to High Definition when Joshua makes his transformation from Angel to Human.
