Consequences of Drugs - DepicT! Video

In our Depict short film we decided that the narrative would be an average guy trying to cope with the consequences of drugs, the idea started from another Depict short film which had made a serious topic comical. There were very few different types of camera shots used in the short film; long shots, close ups and low angle shots. There is no dialogue used in this short film due to an upbeat soundtrack in the background which on its own sets the mood and tone of the short film. The lighting used in the short film was low key as it set the atmosphere of hopelessness and loss which is the main theme of the short film. The mise-en-scene used was a simple table with miscellaneous items on it such as mugs, glasses and scattered pieces of paper which is up to the audience to determine what’s written on them. Improvements that could be made to this short film is that we could have used the camera better to get a better quality video with the dark lighting and the settings on the camera.
