Shane Meadows created this 40 second short film - 'The Stairwell' for The NOKIA Shorts Competition. It was shot on a mobile phone and in my opinion a perfect example of the freedom short film allows a director to have.
-Meadows uses his own version of a steadycam by having the camera attched to the woman's body. This creates a floaty, panicky feeling for the audience.
-The male character is produced from behind. His face is hidden, adding to the mystery and automatically making the audience assume that he is dodgy.
-The music played a big part in manipulating the audience's expectations as it was quite dramatic, building up tension only to reveal the anti-climax.
