Short Film Primary Research #8 - 'Wolf'




'Wolf' is another A level student film I have watched and have now come to review. The short film was made as a psychological thriller and is loosely based around the fable of Little Red Riding Hood. The short film is about a girl who is walking in the woods by herself and then when she goes to her Grandma's only to realise something even more sinister is occurring.

I think that the settings and locations in this short film are great and they give the film a sense of realism. Especially the house near the end, the basement they were in was well chosen and it represents the tone that they were looking for very well.

The use of long shots are quite good as they establish the large, deserted forest that the girl is walking through. There is also a tilt shot that reveals the house the girl is about to enter, I thought this was a good choice of camera angle as it makes the house look very empty and large compared to the girl.

The colour pallet and lighting in this short film is also very crisp and clean, it once again adds to the realism aspect of this short film, whilst she is walking through the forest all of the colours seem spot on.

I very much liked the ending title sequence. The font used is the same font as in hit American TV show 'American Horror Story' and I think that it suits the short film very well, given that the font is striking and creepy, just like this short film.
