In this movie, a grown man is the main character. In this shot, we get to see a lot about this man's character. He is a well-dressed man because of the tux, who happens to be in the wrong situation. When i first saw this, I thought to myself, why would this wealthy looking man, be locked up in a box? As we can see, this man is the good guy/protagonist. Also, later on we see a shot of him asking a valet for his car as he is coming out of a party, which may indicate that he is rich. Because of the fine quality of the camera, we can make out his face features, and his body appearance. We can tell that in this situation, he seems to be very frustrated and confused because he explains to us that he doesn't know why he is in this situation.Conflict:
In this film, the conflict is communicated through a flashback. In this shot, we can see the reflection of the action through the car window. We can see that in this shot, 2 men are "adult-napping" the man. From what we can see, he is innocent and don't know why he is in this confliction. This is mostly communicated through the action that is going on. The two men that are approaching the other man from behind are zapping him unconscious. The actors in this shot are wearing all black and because of the reflection we can't make out every facial feature. This effect of using a reflection to show this shot is to leave a mystery feeling in the audience and to leave questions unanswered. This reveals to us the reason why in the beginning of the short film, he is trapped in a box.
The resolution & feeling:
In the end of this short film, we see that the resolution of the story line is that the man in the box will end up dead. During this shot, we feel a finished feeling because we know there isn't going to be anymore to the story once the man is dead. From being part of the audience, we understand that the good guy will not survive because he is unable to stop the villains from pursuing their plans.
This resolution of the shot of the picture show us a feeling of sadness because of the blue tint that is added to the shot. Also, we feel sadness because we know that this picture is reminding him of good memories which he will never have again since he is about to die. We can tell that the man is cherishing this photo as he will be taking his lasts breathe spent in a box under water. He is putting this photo in his mind, so it will never be forgotten even after he is gone. These shots are symbolic to the meaning of life. It is symbolic to the meaning of life because you never know when things are going to change in your life and sometimes things happen and you question it, but an answer is never revealed to you. Life is unexpected and this picture tells us to enjoy the good times and learn from the bad times in life.
