The film that inspired me on my one-minute film is The Rats/ Las Ratas. What I really liked about The Rats was the narrative and how they constructed the links between the waitress and the customer, whom she’s always wanted to get revenge on for killing her close family member. I think the use of space in this short film was very creative and inspired me to use a wide range of location shots, such as in the film they were switching from the diner to the kitchen quite frequently. I would say what I didn’t like about the film was the abrupt ending as it left us with a lot of unanswered questions, however it is very similar to what I have done in my script as I have left quite a few elements out, such as why Alice seems to dislike Kacy and now has her called ‘Traitor’ on her phone, as well as the abrupt ending I used here too, as I thought it would leave a more open ending, that leads the audience to be able to answer the questions, similar to what ‘The Rats’ had done. Another element that inspired my one-minute short film was the cinematography. I think Las Ratas had excellent costumes, make up and set design, that all connected to the way the shots were taken and the space and location used, creates quite an altogether creative space, to add more plot and narrative to it and so on. In the narrative structure, I took the rat poisoning and the betrayal element of this short film, as I thought it was very well displayed and creates quite a good plot to work with. I also think the lighting of the scenes in Las Ratas was creative, as it kind of linked to the issues faced during the scene and the characters portrayed within them. For example, they used a green tinted kitchen with big bright lighting to create a sort of clinical effect and give the impression that the cook was mentally ill and sick, perhaps sick of her job as displayed in the short film. I also liked how they used composition; the interior design was put together well, as it seems relaxing and aesthetic, turning into a gruesome murder scene at the end.
