Sight - Short Film

This short film, incredibly cleverly - similarly to UNWIND draws its audience by scaring them with the prospect of human future. It develops a very realistic storyline and uses CGI to enhance it. It complies with postmodern media ideas of hyper-reality and a matrix form - is the what we see real?
In terms of short filmmaking it follows simple conventions, it has one clear event and few locations, one day, a date, set in a living room and a restaurant.
The film also uses a combination of still, closed frame shots to capture dual action but then switches to handheld camera for POV shots, replicating the 'SIGHT' lenses or eye of the human.
The soundtrack in this film is what I think is most impressive, the combination of melodic sound and effects is perfect and each section replicates the dream like game world that can be found in the SFX catalogue of any Apple Game App or Video Game. This direct link to what the film is referencing enhances it greatly and makes it feel more believable and realistic, the more connected an audience can feel with a subject matter, the more they will enjoy the film/it'll affect them.
