Reflective analysis of my short film.

Analysis of our short film sequence


This short sequence was shot with the intention of being 6-8 shots long. The sequence that was made, I believe would be in the genre of thriller with few elements of horror through the build up of tension made from the beginning that became a key element of the sequence by the end. The idea of the short film is sort of a topical subject especially in American as it was loosely based on a high school shooting; which sadly happens more in America than here in England, thus creating a relatable topic for the short sequence we created. 

The target audience of this sequence would be teenagers with a 15 certificate; I feel this certificate is most logical because of the feel of shock and real danger and harm that are caused by the films events that could easily have a serious effect on a younger audience.

The main character of this sequence is an unknown person walking into a high school/college with a mysterious looking bag which he leaves in the cafeteria and it begins to tick, to do this we used non-diegetic sound effects. This sequence was shot as Point-Of-View (POV) to emphasise the danger that this one person brings to an ordinary, everyday place.
