Short Film Analysis

THE ESCAPE

This short film is particularly interesting from a narrative point of view, as it contains no dialogue. The narrative of the story is obvious from the first few shots, and is simply one man trying to escape from some gangstars. Having no dialogue, the film relies on film technique only to keep the viewer interested. Using fast panning shots and ensuring there is plenty of movement in every shot. This film shows that in a two-minute video it is not necessarily a brilliant plot that makes a good movie but simply the use of good camera technique can create an interesting film.
