Short films: Lucky



I think one of the best things about this short film is how it builds suspense. At the beginning when he is in the trunk, you cant hear anything. And as his knowledge about where he is builds, so does ours. The when he is out of the boot of the car it is a fast pace action film. The camera keeps up with this because it is probably hand held which makes it seem more frantic.

With the narrative of this short it could be from a feature film. With the questions like who put him in the boot answered. That is what makes this short so good because it works very well as a short film and it could be from a feature film. The narrative is so simple, man wakes up in moving car, climbs into the car and then stops it, then car explodes. It gives the viewer a rounded beginning, middle and end.
