Analysis of short film
The opening scene shows a woman waking up in a room, when she gets up to look around the shot changes from a close up, to a medium shot. At this point the non-diegetic sound also starts ,it sounds menacing and increases in volume as the tension builds, and the woman moves toward ,and looks into the mirror. This gives the film an atmosphere of thrill and suspense, establishing the film so far, as a thriller.
The woman then takes off her robe, and uses it to protect her hand as she smashes the mirror, at this point the non-diegetic music increases and peaks. The sound of the smash also seems to be louder than the normal diegetic sound.
The Shot we see after she smashes the mirror, is a point of view shot ,shown quickly with her picking up a shard of the mirror to look at the back of her neck. The shot changes to the front to show the audience what she sees in the mirror reflection. This is the point that the film is established as a scientific fiction film, with the audience seeing what appears to be a bar code on the back of her heck.
The audience is then shown this in more detail with a close up shot of the back of her neck. At this point the tension of the music also increases as we are shown this scene. The shot then changes to an extreme close up of the subjects face to show her feelings of the situation. We then jump to a close up shot of her sitting down and looking puzzled as her head turns to look at the wall markers(supposedly to signifying days) come into focus.
The scene then changes to a view of the room from a CCTV camera (a shot that we hope to be able to replicate our own production) this scene in particular outlines the isolation that the character faces.
There are then a montage of shots of the main character trying to find her way out of the room from here, doing exercises, to a shot of the tallied wall, to a shot from the CCTV. There are shots of food being passed though the door. Some of the sections here are sped up in a time-lapse. During this montage the music increases in tempo, with more aggressive sounds such as a drum beat.
This Sequence then stops abruptly as the main character seems to have figured something out. Also at this point the music fades into the background.
The Woman then gets up and moves the bed to the wall, two shots are edited together here, a medium shot, and a long shot of the room.
Once she opens the hatch in the wall, we change to a close up shot of her face that slowly pans out to reveal some sort of futuristic weapon.
In the next sequence she powers up the weapon using it to blast a portal hole in both walls of the cell. Special effects and editing are then used in the following shots to make it appear as if she has put her hand though the port. This sequence has little or no music in it. One shot in particular that shows the expert editing in this sequence when the main character runs though one portal and comes out of another in one long shot.A guard opens the door and the main character attempts to escape.
Running down a corridor and using the portal gun to outsmart the guards. This running section is seen though a tracking shot behind the main character for the majority of this scene. The high tempo music also starts again in this scene after the opening of the door by the guard.
The next sequence is shot in the stair well, here a point of view shot is used to give the audience a view of the top and bottom of the stairs. The main character uses the portal gun to jump from the bottom of the stairs to the top. The audience see the main character enter the portal at the bottom and then the camera pans up to show the main character again at the top of the of the stairs. The camera also pans down again quickly, to show the guard coming up the stairs, this heightens the tension of the scene as the appearance of the guard leads the audience to feel that the unknown enemy within the building, are now alerted and more guards are now in pursuit of the main character.
She appears on the Roof with the guards close behind, following her in a tracking shot. When the guards also burst though the door, the sound of the music increases to emphasize the immediate danger to the main character. The next scene is her jumping off of the roof and using the portal gun to jump to the next building. The jumping scene is shown though a long shot from the ground giving the audience a perspective of how high the fall is, and the characters direction of movement.
Once reaching the other building the character pauses for a moment. The camera focuses on her face to reveal the emotions of relief she is feeling from having escaped the prison and the guards. At this point the music from the start of the film is played again.
The final shot is of the main character approaching what appears to be the view into the distance a city scape and freedom, but it is however an image projected on the wall and reveals that the main character has not in fact escaped.
Here the camera starts at a medium shot from behind the main character tracking to the right and then transitioning from one room to the next. Behind the wall is a room in a facility or prison the camera keeps tracking till it reaches the shadow of a box, it then fades to black. The credits start soon after(with a futuristic font) and with the credit music soon after that.
