Joyride thriller - Amelia King.

Enigma Codes.
I found the short thriller film Joyride really effective, there were questions you wanted to find the answers to, for example;
  • Who were the two antagonists?
  • What did they want?
Narrative.
Throughout this film it was mainly restricted narrative, but there was a scene where it was unrestricted, this was were the protagonist thought he had escaped but we could see the antagonist behind him.

Sound.
I really liked the way they used sound-bridges in this film, the one I found worked the best was where their car crashed into a tree but the audience didn't see it you could just hear it. This left you wanting to know what had happened to them.

Set - up.
The establishing shot was of the protagonist presumably out doing a job for work, I thought it was good that this setting was also how the film ended.
