I watched the film Room 8, which is the winner of the BAFTA short film award. This is the film that I watched: Although this is a professional film, with a much higher budget than we will have, it was useful to watch it and use it to get some ideas for our own short film.
The genre for this film is not immediately clear to me. I would say it is mainly a mystery film, although it has elements of adventure at the end, where the prisoner is trying to escape. From our research into adventure films, it seems that this particular genre usually combines with another genre, instead of just being purely an adventure film. I feel that the audience was probably a huge consideration when making this film. Knowing your target audience ensures that you can create a film that they will enjoy. It is clear from the plot of this film that they want the audience to think about the film and what happens in the film long after they finish watching it. We would like to have a similar effect on those who watch our film, and use it as an opportunity to tell as story and make them think. The narrative is linear, although there also appears to be elements of circular narrative within the film. The film has a shot near the beginning and at the end of the man putting a matchbox in a drawer. It is not the exact same scene (which we can tell by the different design on the matchbox) so it is not a circular narrative. Although this film is of a professional standard, and is not primarily an adventure film, we can take inspiration from certain camera angles within this film. We would also like to have a plot like this, which makes the audience think.
