This short film uploaded onto YouTube has certain shot styles in it that we would like to use in our final film. 

The genre of this short film seems very similar to ours and could definitely fit in the psychological thriller. 










The shots that we liked to use was the shots in which the character gets flashbacks to his father beating someone and they were a match-on-action with him beating the man.
The rapid editing of the shots set the film into the genre of a psychological horror as they made you almost aware and unaware of what is going on in the shot. The shots leave you to figure out what is happened in the past just as like what we want in our film.

The 2 shots to the right are the match on action shots that we would like to incoprperate in our film. The style that they are in shows a lot about the past of the protagonist and shows why he is the way he is. The similarities between the flashbacks to the real time shots show that his past is relevant to the plotline and has a lot to do with the person that he is now.
This is very similar to the protagonist, Kyle, in our film.

There are also a lot of close ups in this film that we feel would be right to use in our film. This is because Kyle will be going through a lot of emotional turmoil in trying to piece together the flashbacks he is repressing. We feel that adding a voice over that could act as an internal monologue would lose effect in our narrative. It wouldn't be effective in our film because a lot of the dialog is particularly important so this is the main speech that must be listened to by the audience. Also, the fact that Kyle is alone and vulnerable would be ruined if an internal monologue began. We want to show that Kyle doesn't have anyone to turn to, not even his internal thoughts because they are trying to piece together his repressed memory of beating the Client. By adding close up shots, you can show the audience the emotion of the protagonist without actually having to ruin any effect of the film.
