Short Film Research: Jet, Thriller Genre

 "Jet" is the title of the film. An overhead view of a man looking through the front windshield of an automobile opens the movie. An vehicle accelerates up a hill in the distance. As the man pulls a pistol to his side, the camera moves to the side of his head, exposing his intention to commit suicide. At that moment, a little girl bounces down the street, and the man grabs the daughter, puts the gun in the van, and drives up, leaving him unsure of what to do. After cutting to a scene of a man warily crossing a forest line to check where the car had disappeared, the action shifts to the man running through the trees in the direction of the house.He hides behind the car, stays in the bush, and runs across the front yard in time to see a man approach and take the girl out. The man rounds a corner, encounters two more individuals, and murders them both. The man then discovers the girl perched on a stool, while the title card plays. The use of narration, camera angles, and noises is masterful throughout the movie. I was immediately drawn to the movie's lack of dialogue. Furthermore, the film contains some non-diegetic sound but none diegetic. The film also employs a range of close-ups to emote while combining medium and long views to give the audience a sense of the scene. Furthermore, since the rifle he wanted to use to take his life was used to save someone else, the film's props were vital. This demonstrates how the directors employed retribution at a specific plot point. I like how believable and gripping the film feels. This sense of realism may help readers understand the story more thoroughly and draw them in. I think it's important for my group and I to incorporate as many real-world elements as we can when we start our film. In this sense, our movie will resonate with people and captivate them. It seems like a great example to add to the tale of our hiking expedition's discovery of the body.
