Alone - Short Film

After that we watched a short film called "Alone". The short six minute film shows a young man that is meant to be the last person alive, a post apocalyptic film. The clip shows a young man around mid 20's doing regular things on a daily basis as if nothing has changed such as brushing his teeth and listening to his voicemails. The male then goes out searching for supplies in nearby houses. As he is on his way back home in the middle of the night he spots a house with light on, leaving the film as a mystery. In our filming groups we were asked to come up with ideas on how we would either improve the clip or how we would have preffered it to end. Personally at the end of the clip I would have liked to have seen a hand on the window covered in blood being dragged down to show that the main character is not alone and is not safe. Some one in my group suggested that perhaps the male character could recieve a new voicemail from his partner asking him where he is, as if she was trapped in a parallel universe. Students in our lesson gave ideas such as finding wet footprints as the man is walking home, or that the man could hear children playing like a ghost effect.
