Short Film Recreation: Plot Synopsis

Brief Notes about the Short Film
Written and Directed by Douglas Ray. It’s about a young couple's walk in the countryside that leads to a confrontation with the landowner and an unlikely challenge.



One Developed Character
In this short film, although there are quite a few characters- the main developed character is the young male, as the camera tends to be focused on him the most and he has the most dialogue. The short film revolves around his and his girlfriend’s journey but mainly his, she has very little dialogue. We must not forget the farmer who could be also seen as the main character as he is playing an important part and we probably learn the most about him through his dialogue.


Circular Narrative
The circular narrative could be the location as the film finishes in the same place in which it begins- in the countryside.

Catalyst The catalyst could be the wobbly gate- this wobbly gate helps to foreshadow the death of both the walkers, through the way the gate is dangerously portrayed and gives the idea that maybe you shouldn't cross over the fence into a dangerous situation.

Audience Expectations

The audience expectations are completely turned belly up, as the seemly average farmer pulls out a gun and shoots both the male and female walkers- this was completely unexpected as there was little to suggest that both of them would end up dying.
