Blackbox TV shortfilm - Leave Me Alone!




Starting from around the 1.50 mark of the film some of the camera shots show the woman as alone and almost as though she is being watching by something or someone this is the tone that we will be attempting to convey with our film and also attempting to bring unease and tension to our audience. One specific midshot at 1.55 captures this tension and feeling about the film perfectly as the foreground to the shot is obscured and it gives off the impression that the girl is being watched and is not actually alone.

From 0:40 in this short film the camera is positioned in front of a computer screen that has an instant messenger conversation happening, the original idea for our film is that our protagonist has a phone conversation which will get across the idea that she has recently moved into a new house and has brought it for a little amount of money under semi suspicious circumstances. Using a computer as the main form of conversation in our film will help make the film seem more professional as the acting level of our actors may not be completely up to scratch in order to have a convincing dialogue on a phone. It will also take less time to have messages pop up for the audience to read than it will in dialogue. Using computer‘slang’ or abbreviations in this conversation may help our target audience to be more engaged with the character and may find the character more relatable, this will help to meet our requirements that our focus group have suggested for us.
