The opening of the film and opening shot of the ‘shrine’,
carries a mournful tone in the music and the pictures, which every time they
change or move flashes like an x-ray, which implies that maybe the couple are
dead. The use of music increases the tension of the situation; it reaches a peak
with a sound that forebodes, which grabs the audience’s attention to type of
situation even before we see the gun.
The slow movement of the camera reveal parts of
situation and this again heightens the reader’s interest. As the camera zooms
into a close-up of the female protagonist’s face and her reaction to what she
has just done, the flashbacks help the audience to understand why and refer to
her not knowing what to do.
Her distance from her friend’s ‘death’ is hard for
the audience to watch because she is uncaring and harsh The director explores
the heights of anger and the depths of despair and juxtaposes them in the protagonist
to show how closely they correlate. The audience actually believe that the
woman has gotten away with her deceit so are shocked when her friend is we resuscitated.
By leaving it on a cliffhanger the director makes the audience curious because
we want to know what happened. I actually found this short quite comedic
because of the use of music and the ending, it made me laugh.
