Inside
- Out of all the short films I have watched as part of this task, this film definately impressed me the most. I thought it was a very good example of how a short film should be made. Despite attacking a complicated issue in psychology, it was done very simply and offered a great twist at the end which helped set it apart from the other more predictable films i watched.
- The sound used in it impressed me alot. In the shots where the main characters alternate personalities were talking through him the synchronozation was perfect and added to the characters apparent mental state. There was also a lot of strong use of non-diegetic sound. The soundtrack was very eerie and added to the tone of film, also you could hear whispering and the laugh of a baby, both of which you would associate with insanity.
- The editing used also helped add to the tone of the film. The cuts were very quick and snappy, adding to the erraticness of the character and the film as a whole.
- One aspect of the camera work that particularly stood out was the frequent use of close ups of the main character. This helped you too see his emotions and empathise with what was going through his head. It also put his alter-egos in the background, suggesting to the viewer that they arnt real people.
- I noticed the lighting was very good. The room itself was very dark and plain however there was a strong light on the characters, which helps the viewer focus on them and just them. The main characters body language and facial expressions, although quite limited, were very unnerving and had a powerful effect on my interpretation of the character.
