Talking about micro elements, in introduction (0:00 - 0:23) I have used in this film. I uses sound effect since the opeing "Liongate" played by synthesiser (sound of piano) and sampler (voice) to create an effect of mysterious, cold, dry and creepy plus the contrast colour of background (red) of "Liongate" to grab audience attention. Move on to the walking part, clicking finger part and squeezing the hand part, I decide to use the tick-tok clock sound effect with finger click to create the feeling of someone is waiting for me to come and squeezing the hand to make audiences feel like "I have been waiting for you for a long time" and uncomfortable. The editing I use is approximately 3 seconds of walking, 1.5 seconds of finger clicking and 2 seconds of squeezing the hand, The shot I use, is close up shot to make the audiences focus on one thing and blur a bit to make the scene even more mysterious and unpredictable.
Moving on to the body part (0:24 - 0:42), When I turn on the light, I use the sampler (like monster is roaring) from high pitch to low pitch makes audiences feel like I am there to do something and synthesiser (like blasting sound) the part where Tan is covering her face with hands with sudden flash of light to create the feeling of something has begun. The shot I use when Tan comes in, is close up shot to show her emotion of uncomfortable. Moving on to the part I grab a chair and sit on it, makes audiences feel like something is about to happen and can grab audience attentiion pretty much. Moreover, the loud sound (0:38) that appears when I sit on a chair makes audience feel uncomfortable and might scare. The part where I put my both hands on the table, make audiences feel like I am about to speak.
Moving on to the climax part or conclusion (0:43 - 0:58),At the start, I use extreme close up shot to make audiences look into make eyes and feel the pain. And then the camera goes to Tan, who feels like I have done something wrong (close up shot). Moving on to the climax part, when I start to speak "Let's begin" create a feeling of darkness and the tone of voice is not pleasant (big close up). The last part where Tan looks up, show the emotion of argument and like want to beat me up
Overall the good thing about my 1 min film is
- Expression through sound effect and the use of sound effect
- Timing (putting sound and actions)
The areas to improve
- Acting (more emotional)
- More advance editing
