Short Film Research

This short film on the Hillsborough disaster is one we watched in class and we can take some techniques of short films used in this one for our own. For example there is a big focus on sound in this short film which has a big secondary effect on the audience as the sound is dramatic and tense.

Curve is another example of a short film that we watched in class which once again has a big focus on diagetic sound in driving the narrative. The character and the story line don't really progress however the gruesome sound of the ladies bloody finger keep the audience enticed.

Tearaway is a multi-award winning short film and it is easy to see why with pretty amazing use of editing which we may look to get a grasp of in our own short film to enhance its success and edginess.

Finally is The Return which has a a dull/dark colour palette throughout the entire film which is powerful to set the genre and the tone which of course is sad and negative. This might be an idea we would look to hatch onto for our own product.
