Conforming to short film codes and conventions

     There are many different codes and conventions of short film and our piece conforms to several of them in some way.

Controversial-Our film could be deemed controversial as there is violence and a murder

Low budget-We didn’t spend any money on our short film except to buy bin bags. All other props were personal belongings so we didn’t have a budget at all.

Small set of characters-Aside from the main character we used three other characters. Two were used in the cutaway and the ex-boyfriend was used as a mystery character where his face is never revealed.

Reality-Our shot film is shot in a documentary style and is about a common reality of bad breakups. The controversial part where she is murdered is also a reality as there have been many reported cases where this has happened.
