'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.
