This is the submitted Short film I made for a college project from 2018.

For this film I wanted to explore horror or at least something with a psychological element. The

opportunity arose to set the film in a vacant house which had belonged to my late grandfather. I

decided to base the film around that of an unknown intruder stalking a protagonist. My aim was to

create a story through a progression of shots taken rather than commence by writing the story and

then producing the shots to communicate this. I chose to shoot a long scene in one take with strange things happening in the environment around the protagonist. This was to display my skills as both a cinematographer and director rather than simply tell a story.

I was satisfied with elements of my production and in particular the music and the overall creepy

atmosphere created through my editing. Critically analysing the film, I feel that it is not easy to

watch e.g., there is a random piece of dialogue which seems out of place. It does however display some of the skills I was developing at that time.
