The Fly


The 2013 short film starts with a bright, flashing title 'The Fly', suggesting some annoying themes to happen. For the majority of the film we only see one character - the get away driver. What he acts like in the film contrasts what a get away driver should be - calm and collective; this is what creates humour in a film that has dark scenes because he's letting a fly ruin his whole objective. Although we never see what's going on behind the bank door, we hear everything, further increasing the tension in an already tense film. The actual robbery works well with the drivers anger because the closer the robbery is to getting complete, the more frustrated the driver is getting with the fly. The fast paced cuts also help create tension as it signifies the energy and built up anger of the driver.

'Slap' is a short by Nick Rowland. It's a coming of age about a teenage male boxer who finds freedom in expressing himself with make up and female clothing. Throughout, the boy is trying to construct his own version of masculinity, which is a topic that pervades throughout the film. The camera is mainly placed with the boy, showing his own journey. By doing this, the audience is forced to acknowledge the main topic of this film.

'Over' is a short by Jorn Threlfall, made in 2015. It uses reverse chronological storytelling in order to reveal the incidents that caused a crime scene. The use of diagetic sounds and no dialogue keeps the audience intrigued in whats happening, and it also keeps the audience take part in unravelling the story. The use of only using static shots, too, helps the audience try unravel what happened themselves. The use of long lasting shots with wide shots creates a lot of tension too as it makes the audience expect something to happen, however it does also make the narrative slow to develop.
