meaning? What effect or techniques do you need to research? The
film has a non-linear narrative plot. The film started after the climax, where he

would be able to explain the story in a short amount of time. Overhead- shot to
show the overview of the scene. Extreme close ups to show key features of the
film, such as the mobile phone, or the injection. Rack shot, sequence, medium
shot, and establishing shot was also used in this film to create an effect in the
film. The rock focus was used to emphasize certain objects in the scene, such as
the telephone when it rang. The medium shot, was used to generalize where the

What questions are raised?
We know that the story is set in a Western Country, particularly an English
Speaking country, as the language they used during the film. It is showed in the
film that the character caught his wife cheating on him, and therefore, kills them.
This shows us that the protagonist, Chris, is short-tempered and that his emotions

out of his anger. This story also shows how wicked the world is today. People
cheating on his/her partner, to satisfy their human desires. But not just cheating,
all sorts of other immoral actions are also occurring today. The question that
arises from this short film is, What will the world be like in the future, if the world
is as wicked as it is now?
