Meshes of the Afternoon is a short film which allows you to get in touch with all of your feelings. It’s long panning shots with short clips of the main character will allow the audience to feel a build up of fear. While the short shots with the long shadows allow the audience to feel the desire to know who left the flower.

When the woman falls asleep we go into a dream state which is allowing the audience to see how the woman feels. We see the shadow figure has no face but the desperate chase makes the audience feel as though they need to know who it is.

In the dream state we see the knife has moved to the stairs again triggering a fearful response from the audience making them need to know what is about to happen.

The knife once again moves to below the sheets and it’s at this point the tension builds to a peak when we see the woman sleeping as though the shadow figure is herself and she is watching herself sleep.

However, in the end we realise the knife has been the key all along and just as we find this out we realise it’s all too late and she is already dead.

This short film plays with the audience’s feelings and makes them feel as though the woman has had her own voice in her head telling her what to do. This gives the audience the impression she is suicidal and lonely.
