Final Exit is a short film by blackboxtv it
features a lone protagonist attempting to flee from a group of aggressors. The
film uses a lack of dialogue in order to establish a sinister tone as well as
create tension; this tension that is created is further enhanced with the use
of the music that sounds rather unsettling to the viewer’s ears. The music is
effective in its use as it creates an atmosphere about the film as well as
establishes’ the fact that the film is a horror film, for our film we should
use music in order to establish the tone of the film and keep dialogue to a
minimum to create tension and convey the theme of horror throughout our film.
Throughout the film there is a few useful and
effective camera shots in regards to the chase scenes for instance at around 0:20
the tracking shot behind the protagonist creates the idea of a chase and fear
in the characters face. The swaying from side to side of the camera creates the
illusion that we are witnessing the chase from the point of view of an
aggressor to the protagonist, this instantly establishes’ the fact that the
protagonist is being chased and the fear on the face of the protagonist
suggests by some kind of antagonist. This similar chase format is used
constantly throughout the films entirety.
The film is predominantly dark throughout as,
this low key lighting represents the theme of the film and also shows the
mystery and danger surrounding the protagonist, the darkness represents the
unknown in the eyes of the viewer and we are instantly met with a fear of the unknown.
This darkness could be used in our film to represent the unknown and to
re-establish our tones and create a sense of tension throughout.
