(9 Minutes)
This film takes place in the not too distant future where there is a company that sells robots that acts as partners. A woman is unsatisfied with her robotic husband and so she switches him off and calls for a replacement. The twist of the film is that the woman herself is also a robot and that she is now the one who is failing to meet the new husbands standards, who then switches her off. The plot of the film is very simple and only takes place is one location (their apartment) but I still found is quite effective.
The film has a very clean style with quite bright lighting which gives off a sort of vibe that is an uninviting/ intimidating future. The actions of the characters also give off this feeling that the world that is being presented is stilted and professional in a way. The camera also acts in this sort of way, with little movement that adds to the film being stylistically professional.
The films look and feel doesn’t really fit with my idea for my own short film as the style is very uniform and professional, and isn’t something I really want to utilise.
