Influences

Before we formed filming groups I was particularly influenced by the short films ‘About a Girl’ and ‘Prey’.  The narrative structures of both pieces were done in a way in which the audience is able to connect to the protagonists, follow their story and then be shocked at the end when the climax was revealed. For example in ‘About a girl’ she walks through the park and tells the audience about her life, allowing us to get an insight into her life. However it isn’t until right at the end when she throws the dead baby in the river that we really see what kind of a character she is and things that she previously says start to make sense.
