Research: Short Film Analysis: (Sci-Fi) R'ha


This short is quite a lot different to my intentions for a short film primarily because this is an animation. Secondly, it's based on aliens which is a subject matter/ theme which I will not be recreating. In this science-fantasy film we are introduced to two characters: an alien and a machine/ robot. The alien has been captured by the robot who interrogates him in the hope of getting vital information (a very cliché plot line). As we might expect, particularly in the form of a short film, the protagonist (alien) escapes from the robot and is finally able to save the secret he hides with an unrelenting determination.  Or does he? Right before the credits roll in, the robot triggers the tracking device attached to the alien's ship which leaves us questioning what will happen next. This is very conventional of Sci-Fi films that typically leave the story on a cliffhanger- to grab the audiences' attention and entice them to want to watch the full feature length film (which is said to be in the works).
