Standby

-
Standby is a fantastic short film directed by Charlotte Regan & a BAFTA Nominee. It focuses on the relationship of two police officers and is shot entirely in the car. It uses fast jump cuts to elide time. I really liked how it focuses on a simple narrative, which according to the Director who I met at an event the simple narrative allowed her to really concentrate on getting the technical elements perfect. It uses fast jump cuts and changes in mise-en-scene to elide time

It has influenced the type of screenplay I am likely to write, as I think keeping the concept simple is important.

This reinforces how important his hearing is to him - therefore making it more poignant when he looses it to elevator music.
