Echo - short film response

Lewis Arnold 

2012

18 minutes 

What was effective 

- The non-chronological order 

- The complete shock at the man falling from the sky

- The development of the morning routines. 

What I didn't like 

- The sudden use of a POV shot, this felt completely out of place and distracting from the cinematic style they had created.  This was because as the viewer we had been positioned away from the action, as a bystander. So therefore,  to suddenly being a Police Officer felt extremely forced. I thought the shot was interesting and dynamic but completely unnecessary to the plot and the effect/engagement of the audience.
