'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.

'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.

The Arrival The 2016 short film 'The Arrival' starts with a lady walking into a cafe. We can hear the sound of children in the background which is obviously connected with the plot. We hear the lady saying she wants the door closed, she said this whilst thinking about the negatives of having a baby. With the sounds of children outside and her wanting the door closed, potentially she's trying to shut down the idea of having the baby. But then we have a change in lighting - it goes dark. After this, the lady begins having fun thoughts about the baby, suggesting that past the dark is light and good. The steady zoom in on the lady creates an urging pressure on her to make a decision before the potential father walks in. It also draws our attention on her, especially how she's directly in the centre of the shot.
