Bon Voyage! - Fred

Aspects of the film that we inspire to use in our short film

• A slow tempo at the beginning of the text is used to make the audience feel relaxed but aware, it also gives an indication that eventually something relevant is about to happen. This is an effective method that we could use in our short film, as it creates a successful build up 
• Quiet sounds e.g. key turning in the door, are hightened in volume, this is to put the audience more on edge and alert them as to what is happening, this is effective when trying to build a tense scene.

• When the character wakes up the music is heightened in pitch and volume, this is effectively done, so that the audience know something is not right with the character or something is about to happen. We want to use this same method in our short film as there are 2 scenes where the character is waking up. 

• A close up of the character is effective in showing us his emotions, which are quiet obviously scared, the use of sweat and his shifty movements are also good indications of someone who is feeling scared or anxious.
• At 1.33 good lighting is used to show the unwanted characters shadow in the curtains of the house, this shows that lighting can make a big impact on scenes, and that it should not be seen as a inheritance but more like a gift. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTt-dYe24zU 

Narrative Structure 

• The narrative structure of this short film is quick in pace in tempo, this is used for several reasons:

- Used to build suspense and tension

- To present a whole story in a short amount of time 

- To keep the audience intrigued by not having a long opening

- To show the character as being uneasy 

• The Narrative structure of this short film is very unpredictable, its an up and down structure where one second the main character is calm the next he's panicking, this is effective in representing the main character as being under the influence of drugs. 

Audience

• This short film would be aimed more towards a youth audience, due to the mentioning of magic mushrooms which are more commonly used by today's youth, along with other drugs. 
• Also the use of a gun would attract a more stereotypical male audience, as a stereotypical female audience would not like the use of guns and the scare factor of an attack at home.
