Virus

The short film virus lasts six minutes, it was made in 2002. The film's genre is a psychological thriller/horror. The film was clearly on a low budget as only three actors starring in it.
The title of this film "virus" could have multiple meaning for example viruses can occur in computers and life itself. The directer keeps the causes of death relatively unknown.
The lighting in this film is dark and all the light you do see is artificial again emphasising the theme of machinery.
There is no dialog, this has the viewers on there toes throughout.
The diagetic sound of the vacuum hoover has a creepy affect as if can be such a normal noise however in the context of this film it becomes an other indicator of disaster about to happen.
We are constantly shown normal Innocent objects such as a picture frame and a cup of coffee, i think this is done to show us the views the normality of the situation the characters are in.
Over all Virus is affective and certainly achieves what it wanted to.
