Cinematic Ideas:

We mainly used close up shots. This would mainly reflect on the boy's somewhat unnatural fixation on this girl. An example of this is when he’s glancing repeatedly at her during the opening. Opposingly, the close-ups on the girl subtly reflect her discomfort/nonchalant behavior towards the boy as she doesn’t really care for/see him. During the end in the tunnel, we use a long shot to present the idea of danger, and later during the confrontation with the attacker, we use extreme close up shot to show tension/fear in the boy. Furthermore, a subtle tilt is used when the boy is leaning on the rail to foreshadow his uneasy demise. Most of the sound in the end sequence is non-diegetic, with that being the atmospheric music and heart rate monitor. That’s not to say that we didn’t use diegetic sound at all, as the grunts and impact noises are all diegetic. We briefly considered using foley sound to accentuate those impacts and convey more pain, but ultimately decided against it as time was dwindling. Finally, as the girl approached the dying boy, we used a high angle to emphasise the direness of the situation.

short films analysis

wasp the film opens up with a low angle tracking shot of the main peoples feet as they are walking down the stairs. this shows us the environment that they live in with the dirty floor and the main women of the short film wearing no shoes which could indicate what type of state this family is in which then cuts to a moving back tracking shot of all the people walking down the street all in quite worn clothes with the mother of the four children walking down in what looks to be a night gown holding the baby who isn't properly dressed showing the state in which all of them are living in. after the title card it cuts to a shot of the women banging aggressively on someones door with a high angle  on the kids to show how they are looking up to there mother who is not being a good role model by proceeding to shout swear words and fight a women in the middle of the street with her kids watching. while the mother is pinned down her oldest child proceeds...

Synopsis:

The genre of our short film is a thriller. The plot is as such - after his class gets free seating for a lesson, a girl sits next to a boy. A seemingly innocent action leads the boy to become somewhat obsessed with this girl, often trying to strike up a conversation, but most of the time he ends up staring longingly at her, leaving uneasy and sinister vibes in the air. These vibes linger throughout the film until the end, where our narrative twist comes in. We see the girl walking through a dark tunnel. The audience believes the boy will attack the girl in some way when she is robbed. The boy sees and attempts to intervene, but gets fatally wounded as he does so, leading to his demise. The last shot of the film is of the boy reaching out to the girl, whether this be as a sign of anger, content, or acceptance is up to the audience. We also see how the girl pretty much forgets of the guys existence, not even passing him a look in the hallway. The only indication that she knew who he was...
