Short film – Support @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_NrUKFhthQ
Video length – 1:40 (excluding credits 1:05 approx)
The film opens with a medium shot of a man who appears to be struggling on his hospital bed, the shot is shot by a handheld camera and is from behind an object as if somebody is watching the man on the bed. A heart rate monitor can be heard in the background signifying that the setting is a hospital.
It then cuts to a mid/close up shot of the mans face showing that he seems to be out of breath
It then cuts briefly to a close up shot of a drip dripping, further providing anchorage as to where the location is.
It then cuts to a long shot through a doorway showing the hospital bed and other items that further show that it is a hospital.
It then cuts back to the mid/close up of the man, still exhausted before cutting back to the first angle, the man is still struggling and seems to be trying to reach the heart rate monitor, the music here consists of a piano playing fairly sad/depressing chords
It then cuts to a close up of the mans face, still seeming to struggle before cutting to the heart rate monitors screen and then back to the first angle, with the man now seemingly grabbing for the life support machines plug
It then cuts to a close up of the plug being pulled from the wall, the last few shots were quick-pace editing.
It briefly cuts to a close up of the machine with lights flashing before cutting to a(n extreme) close up of the mans face, the heart rate monitor starts to beep increasingly before flat-lining, the man seems to be at peace and his eyes start to close and the beeping starts to fade.
Suddenly the man is woken up as his bed is knocked and the lights turn on as two doctors/nurses rush to the bed beside him, it then cuts to another close up of the mans face as he looks to the bed beside him
It then cuts to an aerial shot of the two beds showing a doctor trying to revive the other man with defribrilators
It then cuts to a close up of the man turning to his other side to see in shock that he has turned off the wrong machine
It then cuts briefly to the first shot again before cutting to a close up of the mans face.
The beeping continues as the credits roll.
