Prey from BDC on Vimeo.



I picked ‘Prey’ because personally I thought it told the story in a unique way that worked really well. It portrayed a strong and serious message that was heartfelt. It left a cliffhanger to allow the audience to guess or predict what happens next which is one of the key things that make a short film good. It brought you through the story and the emotions she felt at the time that is effective as it positions the audience in her shoes. I really liked the way the story revealed itself. The camera shots were good as well; shaky and blurry which was effective at times. My only element I would change was that fact it was to illustrative at times or too literal at times as the voice over would say a scenario and the next scene would show exactly what the voice over said which got repetitive at times.  Apart from that the short film works well and I can tell a lot of effort and teamwork was put into ‘Prey’ which is shown through the success of their work.
