Camera
Throughout the first minute of the short film the camera stays very simple, in a medium long shot. However, when the black hole that is printed on the paper comes out of the printer, the camera zooms in, highlighting how the black hole is the subject of the film. When the actor goes to take the piece of paper with the black hole on, we see a close up, this enables us to be able to see the actors facial expressions. Clearly the black hole symbolises something which we as the audience are unaware of, this being an anti-narrative.
Mise-en-scene
Throughout the short film, the mise en scene stays exactly the same as the film is set in one location, with the actors costume staying the exact same. Within short films, this is something we expect as you do not have the time to include a lot of different scenes with changes in costume and location.
Lighting
The lighting within this short film is very different to what we expect as an audience, the lighting throughout stays the same, this highlighting the flow in narrative. The dull lighting represents the story of the short film, which overall is very dull and boring.

The Stairway

As the short film starts, we see the use of an establishing shot, this sets the scene for the whole short film. The camera throughout the short film stays in a medium shot, mainly with the audience being able to see the facial expressions of the character.

Mise-en-scene
The mise-en-scene within this film is very simple as it is all set in one location, even though it starts off in a normal hotel, we see how it suddenly changes to a room of stone. However, it then goes straight back to the hotel. The actors outfit throughout the whole film stays the same, this highlights to the audience how everything happened in a short space of time.
Lighting
The lighting at the start of the film starts very bright, signifying how everything at this time was fine. It then quickly goes into dark lighting and stays this way throughout the film. this again highlights how the character is distressed due to not being able to find the ending of the stairs within the hotel.
