'Form 17' Analysis




Camera: Shaking camera implies fast running, movement, POV 

Editing: Tock clicking down for titles (really good effect), 

Sound: Edgy, dramatic music, police sirens, non diegetic, footsteps, dialogue

Mise-en-scene: dressed in black, professional, 

Form17 is a short film which follows a comedic narrative between a father and daughter on a 'take your child to work day'. The titles for the film are beautifully thought through and made. Aa the film is based upon a bomb disposer, the titles are in the font type face of a digital clock, and the last letter of each word is a counting down number. The film starts with a POV shot, shaking violently implying that the person is running. It then quickly cuts between the POV shot and a medium shot of two figures running. Over the non diegetic footsteps and police sirens, is very edgy, dramatic music. The bomb has been made using a combination of live footage and special effects. This allows for the film to have a much more realistic feel to it, without spending money on a load of props. The film's score remains to be very edgy throughout, keeping the audience on wanting to find out what the outcome of the film will be. The entire film has a very blue, chilling filter placed over the top. This makes the film have a very sensitive approach, connoting that the issue in the film is also sensitive (which defusing a bomb is a rather sensitive issue)   
 Nearing the end of the film, the camera switches to a POV shot, with a camera mounted to the girl, this shows her running extremely fast, and then the explosion which is also made entirely from visual effects. The end titles are in the same font as the beginning and the extremely dark lighting continues the edgy feel that the film portrayed.
