Narrative/structure
interwoven narrative stabbing and boys eating in kebab shop
payoff at end linking story to meat chopping at beginning of short

micro elements
diegetic sounds of knives - intensified
low key lighting in dark
extreme close up knives
thriller/horror soundtrack
slow motion smiling
voice over narrating story
music intensifies/is only time without narrating effectively reaching climax reach - sunnenly cuts out to men talking in shop creates humour
Ending effective as don't know how much of story is joke as ending shot is kebab shop owner sharpening knife threatenlingy.

 influence on my work
I would like to use some form of payoff/comedy at the end of my short
