More short film research

This is much more the idea that I wish to create. Even though its slightly longer (7 minutes too long) it has the components of a narrative that I want to make. The majority of short films, even slightly longer ones do not seem to have a narrative inbuilt, which severely  limits their effectiveness as short films, in my opinion. The actual idea is clever, and it is pulled off well; having said this, horror is the easiest genre to create and do a good job. You look at British horror films which works on small budgets with really effective results. The best part of the film is adding an massive twist to the end of the narrative which i wont spoil for you, but really tops off a great amateur effort.


Alongside this is the inclusion of some fantastic shots and really well done mise-en-scene, mainly the shots of London, empty in the middle of the night, and the train station. It starts off with these empty london streets, setting up the horror so well in a '28 Days Later' sort of fashion.
