Criteria For My Short Film

Criteria
Evidence
Unity of Time, Place and Action
A man that is driving through a country road sees a guy and girl pulled up on the side of the road arguing and decides to stop and watch, this happens during the day time just after mid-day.
Identifiable Main Character/ POV
The point of view is from the man who is watching the guy and girl arguing.
Theme(s)
Violence, Desertion, Desperation and Love.
Location
A quiet country road and a lonely house.
Predicament
The girl is left abandoned and believes in the intentions of her ‘savior’.
Dilemma
The girl can either stay left stranded or can take the strangers help.
Stakes
The girl can trust the stranger or find another way home.
Conflict (Internal/External)
The silent moments create an awkward and creepy internal conflict within the relationship towards the two characters and builds tension for the audience, which is climaxed with him dropping her home and taking a picture of her house.
Mood
The mood of the film is creepy with constant tension and suspicions being build towards the final intentions of the ‘helper’.
Tension
Tension is built mostly through the guy character whose point of view it’s from. This happens when he watches the argument whilst making origami. Then it builds higher when he is introduced to the girl walking towards her eye path and helps her into the car. It carries on building through the use of silent moments and obscure actions throughout the car journey and reaches the climax when she is safely dropped off and the guy takes a picture of her house.
Suspense
The suspense is built throughout the film when the audience is anticipating the intentions of the man.
Message
The message would be that good intentions of others are not always as they seem.
Recognizing the Problem
