'Lovely Monster' by Francesco Calabrese

I found this short film that is labelled as a documentary style horror. I am not keen on the story line however I think that the devices that have been used within the film are extremely effective. The use of eerie underscore throughout the piece I feel helps build tension and makes me feel slightly one edge. I also think that the film was effective because it had a good well thought out script that didn't give anything away until the very end. I found myself wanting to watch the film the whole way through to find out what was wrong  with the character. I also like the way the piece was filmed as they used a mixture of Shaky Cam shots/scenes as well as normal stable shots/scenes. I thought this was effective as it helped give the film a documentary style feel. I thought the use of both contrasting camera styles added interest to the piece in a whole. I feel that this film is a great example of the sort of thing my group and I were thinking of creating in terms of style and think that we should use some of the devises featured in this piece. Here is the link to the film http://vimeo.com/29717311
