'Unbovine Yourself' Analysis

Camera: extreme close ups, macro shots,

Editing: montage, extremely quick, slow motion effect

Sound: shouting, voice over, eerie background,

Mise-en-Scene: low key lighting throughout,  hoodies

'Unbovine Yourself' is a disturbing short film based around one mans voiced over narrative. The voice over is very muffled and tinny, making it sound as though it has been recorded on a very low end microphone. The camera work for the film is very much the same throughout. A majority of the shots are medium, close up or extreme close ups. This gives the feel that the films topic is very narrow and has a very clear message. The film itself has very quick cuts, giving it a montage-esque feel, and as though it is being rushed, trying to cram a lot of information into a very short time window. The entire film is shot in low key lighting which connotes that there is a high level of danger and panic in the message. Also by not revealing much with the dark lighting, it adds a foreboding sense that everything will go wrong - which it does in the film. The film deploys the slow motion effect on a number of occasions during the film. This clever effect draws attention to the slower scenes and allows the audience to connect and engage more with those scenes. This connotes that the director feels these scenes are of high importance to the film and they need to be shown for a longer period of time amongst the rest of the films quick, violent cuts.
At the end of the film, the voice over beings to play again, relaying the main message of the film, that humans are exposed to too much repetition.
