Black Hole indepth

The film starts with a black screen with the title 'Black Hole'. The director take the concept of going into a black hole and use this to reveal the setting by having the black screen open and peel back to reveal a hole which then pans from left to right. This is effective as the director has thought about the narritive of the film and has tried to incorporate this in the titles.

The lighting is used effectively throughout this short film. The director hasn't chosen anything that contrast the location. He has tried to make it realistic using props and lighting combined to create a realistic mise-en-scene. The darkness and use of artificial lighting creates a realistic office scene and as the camera pans across the room to the man at the photo copier the audience can pick out props that you would expect to see in an office envrioment.

Facial expression is used effectively with a lot of shots to create tension, humor and many other emotions. A mid shot shows the man waiting at a photo copier however a vivid facial expresions alert the viewer to his boredness. This also relates to a office work place as we can guess hes been there for a while and he is tired and/or bored. Close ups are also used a lot to convey the actors emotions. When the actor first discovers the black hole a close up is used to show his confusion. A close up is then used again when he opens the photo copier to discover there was nothing to be copied. The use of the light from the copier creates an eerie feel and almost a hint of suspense.
