2. BRIEF NOTES ABOUT THE SHORT FILM
• Written and Directed by Carlo Ortu
• It’s about a man who believes he is the last survivor on
earth. However, that is not true as he gets a phone call
from a friend- unfortunately though he doesn’t get that
phone call until after he has committed suicide.
3. ONE DEVELOPED CHARACTER
• In this short film, the man who believes he is the last man
on earth is the only character to be extensively developed.
There are plenty of tracking shots, and close ups used on
this character- to emphasize the importance and focus on
this character.
4. CIRCULAR NARRATIVE
• The circular narrative could be the mood and feelings of
the main character as the film begins with him feeling and
convinced that he is alone and the film ends with him still
in the same frame of mind.
5. CATALYST
• The catalyst could be the phone call- as it is this
unexpected event that leads the audience to believe that
there is more than one person alive.
6. AUDIENCE EXPECTATIONS
• We as the audience expected there to be some sort of
happy ending due to clichés and what not- we expected
him to be saved or find out that he’s not alone but instead
he just committed suicide- leaving no happy ending at all.
