The Elevator
Story Elements: The protagonist was the guy in the blue shirt who started out in the elevator. The crisis/challenge that was set on him what the he was on an elevator and then a bunch of overweight people kept getting on. As there were more overweight people getting on the elevator, the guy started looking at the weight capacity and started adding up the weights to see if they would get to it. After he added it up, he noticed that it was over the capacity, so he quickly got off and then onto another elevator with non-overweight people. The catch is that this new elevator, although they weren’t overweight, they were all very sick and started coughing and sneezing everywhere, this is the “new normal.”
Manipulating Light: Throughout the whole movie, the depth of field is at a medium shot and the focus is mainly on the protagonist. It is a pretty normal shot for most of the movie. When people are getting on the elevator the shot is very bright, every time. But then when we see the inside of the elevator and our protagonist the shots are dark. There isn’t a whole lot of color in the film. It is mainly sad dull colors because the setting seems like an office building which are normally pretty dull colors. The recording medium was mainly film and overall it doesn’t look very cinematic.
Framing: The screen aspect ratio fit the device that I was watching it on, and the dimensions of the frame was mainly focused on the people within the frame. The camera was on a tripod the whole time because all of the shots were still. There was on panning or tilting. The different shots were either medium or extreme closeups on the numbers of the elevators.
Visual Style: The overall visual style was homemade. This film was not cinematic in its shots or in the use of technology used. But overall the story line was amazing so that is why they were able to pull it off so well.
