Synopsis

 After we had started to storyboard someone in our class read through our synopsis. They pointed out a fault that we hadn't noticed. They said that surely it wouldn't be a vision of what they want to be in the future it would be what their future turns out to be. This is as the girl who kills herself wouldn't be shocked if she wanted to kill herself. This fault hasn't really changed anything major just a change to the synopsis.

Initial Plot Idea's

This is our first mind map of our ideas, after watching the short films each other analysed we discovered we would like to do something involving a mirror. After thinking up a few different possibilities we got the idea of including a mirror like something out of the Harry Potter series where it shows what you want to see not reality. We thought this would be the one we would be able to pull of the best without it getting to complicated with the editing and it would be the most understandable for the audience as its only going to be about 5 minuets long.

After a few different plots we drew out a more detailed plan of what we are going to do, involving a beginning, middle and end. We worked out how many characters we wanted and the order of which things happened.

"Brady" - Short Film Analysis

The opening shot of this short film is a close up of someone being dressed. After two jump cut we fee a close up of a little boys face. Because of the close up we can see that his facial expression is very sad looking. Aldo we can see that there are handles behind him, this shows us that he is in a wheelchair. The titles then come on screen after a fade to black. The font is very simple with the letters in capitals on a black background. This is the point the non-diegetic starts. It is fairly loud and has a sad and emotional feel to it despite having only a few instruments. A long shot of the little boys bedroom is very stereotypical of what you would expect someone his age to have, because of the shot type and the composition in the frame we are able to see props such has a globe, world map and solar system poster. As well as this we also see Brady's mum carry him from the wheelchair and onto the bed. This lets the audience know right front he beginning the severity of his disability and that he cant use his legs at all. The non-diegetic sound then drops when his mum exits the room and turns the light off. It goes from quite a high pitched tone to a lower pitch, this signifies the drop in his emotion as she leaves, therefore telling the audience that he doesn't like to be alone or away from his mother. By doing this it shows that the relationship between Brady and his mum is very close and he is quite attached to her, this may be because of his disability.  Along with the change in non-diegetic sound, there is a heightened Foley effect. The sound of the clock ticking suddenly gets very loud, showing how Brady is listening to it, thinking the time is going very slowly.









The next shot is of a new setting, the kitchen. A cleverly composed shot of the mum reveals a lot about her life. Firstly you have how cluttered everything is. There are pieces of paper pinned up on every bit of spare space along with a box filled with loose sheets. She also is drinking some wine, and not just a glass. There is a large wine glass and a bottle, and when she pours it we can see it is nearly empty. From this scene we are also let known that she is a single mother as there is no partner around or anything suggesting there is someone to help her. During this scene we can see that she isn't thinking about the work shes doing as when she pours her drink, she imagines it as someone jumping into water. The red in the wine shifts over to red swimming shorts, along with this the change in colour from very bright yellow light to dark grey shows us it is an imagination.

We start to get hints that the mother in in love with the swimming instructor from her on, through a mixture of shot type, angle and body language. The first hint we get is when there is a long shot of them arriving at the pool. Both the mum and the swimming instructor touch bend down to talk to Brady and when they touch hands it is shown through a close up. This shows that it is significant and the director wants us to notice it. The time when Brady is in the swimming pool with the instructor, the mother is pretending to read a magazine however you can see that she is not reading it but watching. Normally you would think that she was watching her son but a very important shot shows that it is not the case. There is a medium shot of the group following from an eye line match from the mums point of view, in the pool and then it zoom in, however the closer it gets it goes into a close up of the swimming instructor not her son. Accompanied by the non-diegetic music the shot is something similar to one you would get in a teenage high school movie when someone has an inappropriate crush on the teacher or hunk of the school.







After this they are drying off. There is a long shot which lasts for a very long time, nearly a minute. This shot is from the point of view of Brady. He watches his mum get rejected from he instructor. During the conversation you cant really hear what they are saying but the swimming instructor does shake his head and then pass the number back. Brady may think that his is because of him.

"Ham Sandwich" Short Film Analysis

Genre: Comedy

This short film starts out a close up of the main character asking for a promotion. His costume and hair give away that he may be a bit of a loser and push over. He is wearing a washed out shirt and comedic patterned tie with a very out of date hairstyle. Also the fact that his boss laughs when he asks for the promotion says that he isn't very accomplished or lucky. We can also see that he works in an office due to the long shot when he leaves the room as there are many props giving that away. He then talks to a female work college and gets shouted at then he gets the door shut in his face when he goes for lunch. His body language tells us that he is shy as he has his hands in his pockets and looks down a lot.

When he enters the sandwich shop the lighting changes to a very yellowy tone and it is very hazy. This conveys the view that is is not used much and is old and has been around a while. However the fact that it has remained open yet being so quiet and run down is a mystery. When he walks in the non-diegetic music changes to a magical kind of tune. There are also a lot of comical over loud Foley effects such as the creaky door and spreading the mustard on the roll. A point of view shot shows us what the shop looks like on the inside, and all the props and their composition in the frame tell us it is not somewhere you would really want to buy a sandwich but as we know his character we know he is a push over. We then see the sandwich maker. His costume really gives us an insight into what he is like. HE is wearing a dirty out of date uniform with a hat to small fro him which is also filthy. His facial expression all scrunched up and intimidating and he is hunched over the "making station". The lighting behind his counter is very dark and resembles a lair or little den. When he starts to make the sandwich the non-diegetic music gets a little louder and turns very magical and childish. The sequence is similar to a scene where a witch would cast a spell. This is giving us a taste of whats to come.

 




It then cuts back to him in the office eating his sandwich, the diegetic sound has gone back to phones ringing and typing. Also the lighting has got more dingy and depressing. When he bites into the sandwich there is two different heightened Foley effects, the first being the bite sound and the second being a magical twinkle sort of noise. These effects are much louder which makes them comical and extenuated. After he realizes that taking a bite of the sandwich takes you back in time the sound is used so cleverly to convey his different emotions. It changes every time he looks in a different direction or thinks something. His body language changes instantly and as does his facial expressions. Also with the sound changing, the editing pace quickly picks up as well. It gets very fast pace witch I think is also conveying his emotions changing.

There is then a montage of outrageous things he has done throughout the day due to him being able to go back in time this is done through jump cuts. The non-diegetic sound picks up, becomes louder and one long track. This is very upbeat and funky and is accompanied by diagetic sound also. Throughout this montage he becomes more and more undressed as he is getting more wild and unlike his usual self.

 Things soon get out of hand and he realizes that  he has gone to far and after a turn of events returns to the office back with the dingy lighting. He then laughs to himself but things are not quite as he has left it and its his fault. There is a close up of his face and it goes back to his depressed and concerned usual self.

"Grace" - Short Film Analysis

The first shot is a long shot of Grace exiting her house. We can tell that she comes from a fairly poor family as from the size of the shot we can see that her house is very close to her neighbors house. Also the things around it seem a bit run down and abused, such as the gate and water butt. There is also a wired fence separating the two houses which is not aesthetically pleasing and would be the cheapest option to separate the two houses.

There is then two shots of Grace riding her bicycle, firstly down an old country road and then down a main road. These are both shot at an high angle as if the camera is following her. From these two shots we can see that Grace is on her own, there are no cars or other people surrounding her, this tells us that maybe it is quite early in the morning. The shot of Grace on the main road is when you start to question what she is doing. This is because she turns off the main road down an old dust road. This is strange on its own but we can also tell this is odd because the camera which has been following her the whole time actually carries on down the main road instead of following her. There is then a fade to black to reveal the title of the short film. During these two shots there is non-diegetic music in the back round, it is only quiet and only consists of a few instruments. It is just enough to give the beginning an eerie feel and build some suspense. Along with this there is diegetic sound also, this is prominently the sound of birds tweeting but also the sound of the bike. All the sound carries on when the title comes on screen, which along with the plain black background and simple font really works well here.

 After this we then see Grace's face for the first time along with another character. She is waking up a boy. There is a long shot which sees them sitting down in the middle of a deserted field. She tells him he has been asleep for "too long". It is shown that the boy is older through the way he looks and his voice. This is a common convention used typically in thrillers but also in drama, this is enigma. It instantly makes us start asking questions, for example "Who is the boy, how does she know him" and"Why is he asleep in a field". Through the use of props and costume we build up a picture in our minds of what Grace's character and personality is like and start to warm to her. We see a teddy bear in her bag and her water bottle which has a smiley face on it, also she is wearing very childish clothes and the colour of her clothes is very girly. They then proceed to have a conversation about how the boy doesn't notice her in school and he calls her "cute". Through the dialogue it is very clear she has a crush on him.

Through the conversation they then go in for a kiss. The first time it begins with a close up and then cuts to a long shot. The second and most important time it is a close up all the way through. When they pull away we see that he has left a speck of blood on her cheek. This is very odd and is where things take a turn for the worst.



 When the boy has gone out of shot there is an eye line match from Grace to the boy. This is the reveal shot. He is lying down, dead, and with a bloody nose. The non-diegetic sound then changes from the previous tune to a high pitched note held, just one instrument and is very piercing. This adds to the shocked and confused feel the film has which the director has cleverly created. We, as an audience, think that this is the only shock but as Grace gets up to leave the camera follows. It zooms out into a high angle extreme long shot revealing a car crash scene, involving the boy and another man. Through Graces actions of going there so casually it is clear that she has made the trip several times and isn't phased by it - which is very disturbing. The lighting in this shot and throughout this short film is very different and in-stereotypical as usually in a short film containing death it is very dark and gloomy but in this it is very bright and yellow lighting. This may be because we are seeing the situation through Graces point of view which is normal and quite peaceful. This then massively uses enigma again and leaves the audience with so many questions and luckily there is a fade to black followed by a screen of on screen narration about what happened after they were eventually found.

Graffiti Area Ed

the opening scenes of graffiti area begin wit two men running enigma is created right of the bat as the audience have no idea why the man are running or what from. the storyline follows a non-linear narrative as the opening scenes are from the middle of the sequence. as the men run a diegetic sound of a police siren can be heard adding a sense of urgency to the men's run. after a few scenes of the men running a close up is finally seen and their facial expression can be clearly seen for the first time, the men's faces tell the audience they are distressed and panicked. their heads twitch from side to side looking at the plain grey walls, for a short film named graffiti area the scenery is lacking in graffiti as the walls look empty and concrete grey. the title sequence is shown as the men hide around a corner, the title is done in the style of a graffiti artist and moves as paint drips down, this imagery runs parallel with the imagery in the scene at the time as cans of graffiti spill out the man's bag and onto the pavement. the men exchange a few lines of foreign dialogue in a shot reverse shot, the use of a close up helps to get across the panic on the two men's face. the two men are talking about needing to get out of where they are but do no to talk about what they are running from, all of this is building up enigma amongst the audience as the protagonist are visibly scared but the audience does not not why.

the sequence then fades to black and cuts back to the very beginning of the sequence the fade to black shows that time is being past or in this case the opposite. all shots up until now have been medium to extreme close ups of the two men and have not revealed an awful lot about the scenery, from the language used the audience can tell these men are European. after the fade to black there are a few long shots of the alleys the men are in, they are grey and bleak and lack much colour like the men's costume, which is normal for graffiti artists as they are doing illegal acts and cant stand out too much. one of the two men can be seen spraying graffiti onto one of the walls in a black monster shape the other man is keeping watch, the use of this 2-shot helps to show the audience how the men feel, very on edge as graffiti is illegal. the paint on the wall begins to move and shapes appear in the black monster. it is at this point a diegetic sound is introduced of police siren identical to the one in the open scene is heard this puts the timescale of the non-linear narrative into perspective for the audience. A very effective shot is used to shown the man's reaction to his paint magically moving, the camera appears to be located inside of the wall with paint over it and as the paint moves more the man's face is seen inspecting his work and his reaction can clearly be seen. at this point all other sound is lowered showing that this discovery has taken the mans attention and this focuses the audience attention on the focal point which is the moving graffiti paint. a non-diegetic soundtrack is introduced slowly building up as the man is investigating his art work violins can be heard until they realize the piece is alive and coming after them a sudden drum beat is heard and the men break into a run, the drum beat increases the pace of the music and with this the pace of editing increases too making the feel of the film return to how it was in the opening scenes.

the pace of editing increases and the two man's fear can be read in the desperation on their faces and the effort put into running, a tracking shot is seen and the monster is meters behind them, this is the longest shot in the fast pace of editing period this shows the audience how close the monster is to the men and the scale of the monster.as the camera tracks past obstacles a swooping diegetic sound is heard as the pass like cars and pillars, this shows the speed the man are traveling at and their sense of urgency is emphasized to the audience. as the chase scene continues the non-diegetic soundtrack continues to build up towards a crescendo, until the two men are met with an alley of colourful and peacefully moving graffiti, it is a dead end but the men are in awe of the beauty of the alley a close up of the mans reaction to the alley shows how in awe they are even though danger is just behind them, a 2-shot of the man and the monster in the background shows how near the men are to peril. It is here when the chase music reaches its crescendo and comes to an abrupt stop, this is replaced with an almost alien space like diegetic sound that can be heard coming from the walls.

one of the men touches the wall and the monster can be seen shying away form the colourful dead end and trowing up a rainbow. despite the lack of danger anymore one of the men goes up to the wall and touches it, paint is seen traveling from the wall to the mans hand, as if the paint has left the wall, this is a really effective shot and probably required so post production editing to finish it off. at this point the pace of editing has slowed down almost one long shot, this is used to show the vibrancy of the walls and the two men's reaction to this a long shot is shown to show the scale and magnificence of the wall in scale to the man standing in front of the wall. the diegetic sound of the wall increases in volume pace and instruments when the man puts his hand on the wall. another fade to black is used after the hand shot however this fade to black fades a lot slower than the others showing the importance of this scene and the importance of the wall. when the fade returns only one man is in the alley and the other man can be seen painted on the wall. the finishing dialogue is of the man in the alley saying 'are you happy now?!' in reference to the other man being the art he always creates.

Maybe One Day analysis ED

maybe one day begins with an establishing shot of a middle aged man in bed the camera tracks him as i he gets up revealing his room, there is a blue tint to the lighting suggesting the man may be. the man's facial expression upon waking up is tired and fed up, he is bored of his life and they have used alot of conventions along with lighting camera work and mise en scene to show this. the setting of the man's house is plain and simple there is not alot on the ways in any room and it is mostly white, he has a very plain house and lifestyle. we know this because in the non-diegetic voice-over the man talks in a mundane tone and mentions how he has memorised the routine to his day, '12 steps to the bathroom...  ... 78 brushes of the teeth..  .. 29cm of floss' he speaks in a repetitive rhythm this shows the audience how tired he is of the everyday routine of his life. the soundtrack is also non-diegetic and has a very slow pace, it too is repetitive. the empty to do list taunts the man, this shows the audience the man may be depressed and has nothing in his life to do.

there is a theme of routine throughout the film and the voice-over picks up on this mentioning how even inconsistent things such as the the weather i routinely inconsistent. around 2 minutes into the film there is a change in soundtrack before the man reaches his place of work, the soundtrack changes from a slow monotonous space like soundtrack to a more fast beat and lively piano sound track, coinciding with this the weather takes a change for the better lighting up the man's face, only when the weather changes does the man look around from staring almost right past the camera to actually looking around and taking in his surroundings. his facial expression also changes and the topic of the voice-over changes from his ever continuing routine to his life journey 'but as i struggle up this 40 year hill, i have to consider what i will see at the top' this is when life i seen in the man's face as the music builds the camera and the man pan around 180 degrees, this represents the sudden mind frame change of the man, this combined with the weather and music change really shows how the man is having a revaluation.  This is where the man begins to break his routine, he no longer looks bored and depressed as he has found some inside voice to help make him happy.

The tone of the voice-over changes and the man begins to use a wider vocabulary, even Italian 'ariva derci the city' he says while his facial expression changes and smiles can be seen. the man no longer stares straight ahead and can be seen enjoying the scenery and other aspects to life. as he is of the train and taxi enigma is being built as to where he is going. from his break in routine the audience can guess it isn't going to be the city. as the man leaves the train the last bit of modern life tying him to his daily routine he leaves the train with the voice-over saying 'bonjour la country' and begins to run with an over joyous look on his face. the camera style used in this film helps to see a journey of the man's emotions he begins the day looking bored and colourless however as he explodes out of the train into the country side his face appears full of colour and happy, almost the opposite to what was earlier seen of the man.

"Sleepover" - Short film analysis

The Opening shot is an establishing shot- a pan across the contents of underneath a bed. The props used convey the feeling that the upcoming film is going to be a horror. This is due to item such as the white mask and creepy doll. This shot is accompanied by non-diegetic music which is very eerie, only a few instruments are used and it is very slow paced. Also the lighting in this shot is vey low key. It is dark and dingy but light enough that we can see clearly what the props under the bed are. This altogether lets the audience know what they are in for and sets the scene.

We then hear dialogue for the first time when meeting the characters. They are checking under the bed, we assume for monsters. Then a woman walks in and she askes them weather they have checked under the bed and the cupboard. This indirectly tells us that they may have a fear of something being under there and it is routine to check.

 When she leaves we get a Birdseye shot of the boys lying down and here we get a real picture of what the boy is like due to the shot type, composition in the frame and dialogue.
Firstly he says "thanks for coming over, its been a while since I've had a neighbour" this lets the audience know that he is quite lonely, may not have any friends and the neighbourhood is not a desired place to live in despite their nice house. Also the dark haired boy seems very childish as the has a typical child's bed (shown by the bedhead) and his duvet has cartoon dinosaurs printed all over it as well as other accessories in his room. All of this is very opposite from his friend. Their costume tell us that they are very different, as the slightly more immature boy is wearing a pyjama set with blue and white stripes. The other boy hasn't even got changed to go to sleep, instead he is wearing a hoodie and jeans. Although they are still very childish colours, which shows there is still some immaturity about him. The other boy also displays older behaviour by wanting to rebel and stay up late and is disgusted by the fact the other boy wants to go to sleep. Also he uses a lot of adult language through out the film.










There is a shot reverse shot of the two boys having a conversation, in this the blonde haired boy is at a higher angle, conveying a more confident and dominant stance on their friendship. During this talk we find out that the woman is their babysitter, and fast asleep, leaving the two boys in danger. Also during this conversation the dark haired boy brings up "The Slasher". The angles then change, the blonde boy is now sat down giving the brown haired boy the dominant position and power as the convocation takes a turn. Through out this the shot distance gets closer and closer starting with almost a medium shot and ending up with close ups as the conversation about "The Slasher" gets more intense.

Also throughout this conversation the editing pace gets a lot faster to create the sense of panic and anxiousness the dark haired boy is feeling. They then start to argue and the blonde boy gets up to leave. Throughout this scene non-diegetic sound is very cleverly used to convey different emotions, such as building tension then suddenly stopping the music to turn it back to fun.

Room 8 Analysis ED

Room 8

room 8 begins with a prisoner being guided through a prison courtyard by a Russian prison guard, this immediately sparks enigma amongst the audience. questions are raised like why is the protagonist in jail and why in Russia? immediately after this short scene the plain title sequence 'Room 8' shows it is white on a black background plain and simple similar to a prisoners number on his uniform. a shot of a match box moving around as if something is inside is shown creating more enigma as this shot appears to have no relevance to the story so far, the table is old and scratches it is also discoloured representing the state of this Russian prison, dirty and deprived of an luxury. the match box has a stereotypical russian design, constructivism, this has connotations of freedom as that art movement was made around world war 2 when the russian people stood up and rebuilt their country, this is ironic as later on in the sequence it is revealed it is a shrunken prisoner inside of this match box.

As the prisoner is guided into his new room the existing prisoner in that room quickly picks up the moving match box in a snappy secretive way building enigma even more, making the audience ask questions and become more and more intrigued as to the match box. The lighting in the room is dark and has a blue tinge to it representing how the prisoners feel locked up in these rooms all day. there is a long pause before either of the prisoners speak, however when the moved prisoner asks for the man's name he is met with silence, his body language tells the audience he doesn't want his name revealed as he remains still and facing away from the other prisoner a shot reverse shot reveals the other prisoners reaction to this in a close up of the man's face. The pace of editing is slow to put emphasis on the characters awkward first encounters, and adds to the hostility of the prisoner who was always in the room, the prisoner remained seated all the way through and doesn't even get up to greet or address the man's new cell mate, this would be classed as rude however it is later revealed that this man has a lot of room mates and none of them seem to last very long.

When the moved prisoner asks the existing one about the box the man shies away and responds with 'nothing', his body language tells the audience he is trying to hide something and more enigma is created, his shoulders a hunched over and he turns away before saying nothing. however the man moves extremely quickly when the other man goes to open the box and snaps 'stop' this shows the audience that this box is of importance and that the man is obviously very touchy about his box, the reason why isn't apparent yet however enigma is being built. after some dialogue a very faint diegetic soundtrack is introduced, it is similar to that heard in horror movies when enigma is being built the soundtrack slowly builds and stops at the next line of dialogue, this subtle sound build tension and intrigue as to why this man doesn't want the other man in the box but also why he is being so vague about it.as the box is opened and revealed that its a birds eye view of the room he is in a diegetic sound is played similar to that heard in detective or crime movies, sparking more intrigue amongst the man but also the audience as many more questions are being asked in their heads. a zoom in shot of the mans reaction is played as he realises it isn't a copy of the room but that room in the box, more diegetic track is played similar to the first but building in volume and instruments, the zoom then continues to a close up of the prisoners face and shock and awe can be seen.

As the prisoner explores the box in disbelief even more, the other man seems extremely disinterested as seen by his body language and facial expression as compared to the other prisoner who can express his shock any more. as the man becomes more intrigued and explores the box even more the non-diegetic soundtrack of an orchestra or instruments of that kind begin to build ever slightly more, when the man touches his own hand through the magic box it begins to give the audience a sense of scale that the man is literally match box size, and alot of the previous enigma is answered but not all of it.

the mans facial expression quickly changes and it is obvious to the audience the man has an idea as he runs to the corner of the room, he asks the man to open the box for him, no this is the only time the other man has been seen to leave his seat at the desk which is interesting as the other man has shown no interest in anything other than the man not touching the box. the man climbs out of his prison cell into the giant prison cell, and he has shrunk to the size of a thumb, the camera pans as the music crescendos and a giant hand and matchbox is seen picking up the original tiny prisoner answering the question as to why the matchbox was jumping around as if something was inside of it.

The man who couldnt stop putting things in bins analysis ED

The man who couldnt stop putting things in bins 

the short film the man who couldn't stop putting things in bins is done in a documentary style with a comedic twist, it begins with a selection of jump cuts, the audio is distorted and the cuts are a second long each, representing the craziness that this mans condition inflicts on the house and to his girlfriend, his girlfriend is visibly distressed and the use of jump cuts helps to reaffirm the girlfriends stress. After the establishing sequence of jump cuts the title sequence plays the simplistic white on black title scene shows the film is of a documentary genre as this is a commonly used title theme in documentary and educational films. Jump cuts and a very fast pace of editing helps to represent to the audience the madness of the mans condition and how he has little to no control of what he is doing. even when talking one on one to the camera he is visibly agitated from his body language and is refraining from putting things in bins.The mans dialogue is jumpy and out of character when agitated about his bin conditon.

The lighting used in these scenes is homey and gives the audience a sense they are in a real home as it also rather messy and not like a made up show home. the setting of all of the scenes is cramped and messy, the messiness represents to the audience the mans mental health state as he obviously has a serious condition and the messiness of his home really backs this up to the viewers.

The man's girlfriend is visibly tired of the mans condition, the audience can tell this from her body language as she seems tired and reluctant to help the man with his condition as she has obviously been helping him for a longer time than the camera crew has been there. the low quality camera used and the shaky handheld camera also helps to create a sense of reality that these two people are real and the mans condition is real too, this style of filming also helps to get across real human emotion to the viewer as it seems a lot more real than some of the made up and edited short films i have seen.The flim maker uses repitition to really engrave into the audiences mind the frustation she goes through on a daily basis, 'dont put that in the bin Charlie...    ... or that ...  OR THAT....'.

the is a sense of comedy to the sequence as well, not only how ridiculous the mans condition is but the almost slapstick comedy the couple take part in when Charlie attempts to put things in the bin, continuity is broken a lot when the girlfriend faces the camera and explains ways she try to help charlies condition, however in the documentary genre this is a common occurrence as information or facts are often given by addressing the camera this way.

Disability is addressed in a few scenes as the girlfriend believes that he should be a bin man, and mentions if not he should go on disability, the man gets very touchy about this as he believes he is not disabled however the imagery and the mans body language and dialogue points otherwise, his stammer when agitated about his condition shows the audience he is going through difficulties in day to day actions and is a good representation of how some disabled people may feel about admitting they are disabled as that can be a difficult and confident affecting time. throughout the course of the film tensions in the household become higher and higher which coincides with the film crew saying less and less showing that even the documentary style film crew are feeling uncomfortable not about the mans condition but his relationship with his girlfriend, the ending to the film is very comedic as tension are raised so high the man attempts to bin his girlfriend, anger and frustration is then seen on the mans face and the final scene of the film is the man placing the camera mans camera in the bin which shows the audience that the man has no control of his condition and accurately represents the frustration and helplessness of the man.
