Student Work Analysis

I liked this film because of the twist element it plays. The setting is set in a typical suburb where there's no indicative plot until the parcel on the pavement is discovered. The ending has interesting twist because we never expected what the boy was going to found out in the empty mansion. We don't know what happens to the boy and so we're left with an ambiguous ending. The music also cuts in at the perfect time when we're left to realize that a person was held captive in the deserted house. However, when we follow our protagonist out of the house, the complication of the plot changes and we're aware that this was a prank.





I think that the idea for this short was well thought out. The short consisted a lot of parallel editing which is a similar feature that our short will be implementing. There was also a voice-over of an unknown person talking through out the whole film. We believe this unknown character plays a vital role in explaining the premise of the short. Despite it's distorted quality, the idea of working with a voice over seemed appropriate with the parallel editing.
