This document analyzes the filmmakers' use of conventions from thriller movies in their short film. It discusses how they incorporated simple opening titles, point-of-view shots, vanishing points, chiaroscuro lighting, isolated exterior locations, confined interior spaces, flashbacks/dream sequences, and binary oppositions between characters and locations. Examples are given of how similar techniques were used effectively in movies like Once Upon a Time in America, The Killing, and No Country For Old Men. The analysis aims to show how borrowing conventions from acclaimed thrillers helped make their short film feel more authentic to the genre.
