Investigation of vimeo

Waiting for the End of the World from Lee Deaville on Vimeo.

Another short film I found on Vimeo, it relates a bit better to what I hope to achieve than the Times video as it has more of a narrative which it is telling.

One of the things that stood out was the atmosphere of the film, I found myself empathising with the main character and feeling his boredom and loneliness. I think that the music has a large roll to play in this effect along with his monotonous voice and the repetition of similar shots. So I am going to have to pick suitable instrumental music, which hopefully gives a sense of urgency and a bit of fear that he has lost his keys which isn't going to be easy.

Another thing was the shot of him looking under the shelves and you have the shot looking out back at him which is also the thumbnail (at 1:06 - 1:09) it's quite an interesting shot and brings the viewer into the environment instead of just observing the scene from some omnipresent view. Hopefully I will be able to incorporate some shots similar to this in my short film.
