Expectations based on the name

A rom com where the people met through a phone? 

Response and Analysis

A suspense based short film.

The film has only one character you really see on screen with only one set, this makes me realise just how little you need to have to make a good short film as long as you have a good script and good actors. The simplistic-ness of this short film is what makes it so good. 

The actual performance from the actor is what truly makes the story gripping in the way that it is, this has made me think about how important the actual acting will be to my own short film. 

The use of long length shots work to create suspense and stress as the shots last for longer than the regular 3-4 seconds of regular film shots. 

The shots also get increasingly more close up as we become more invested in the story as the film goes on and as the suspense grows.
