- 2. CameraworkThe short film has a variety of long shots and
panning shots, to drawthe audience into the film. In the shot below
it shows an establishingshot used to set the location of the short
film by giving us a sign post ofexactly where the film is set. Also
the background confirms to theaudience how deserted and lonely the
place looks, as the shot isempty and still and shows not life just
yet.
- 3. Editing Love field uses various straight cut and clean cuts
in order to try buildsuspense and curiosity as to what has the man
really done to this girl.Fast cut shots have been used to build
suspense, the film is supposedto make the audience feel tense and
not sure of what is going on. Sowatching this man glance at the
raven makes it looks like he has beencaught out for what he has
done by the raven so I think, the raven isonly there for metaphoric
reasons. They use a shot reverse shot to seethe facial expression
of the man and the raven, to intensify the situationto make it look
like someone had just taken life not bringing life to earth.
- 4. Sound The camera pans to a beeping phone that has probably
lost signalwhich shows the desperation that the character is in.
There is the use ofambient sound of a woman screaming in pain and a
close up of a clothcovered in blood which adds to the dark theme
being portrayed in thefilm. The sound we hear of the single cawing
raven adds furthersuspense to the scenes. It is the loudest sound
throughout the film andwe can see that the bird makes the man in
the film nervous which buildsa very horrific picture in the mind of
the audience to the character of theman. The ravens loud echoing
will give away what the man is doing toanyone who is within a close
enough distance to hear the animal.
