(Film)

One of the films I researched was Skipped (2017). A film directed by Faisal Hashmi that follows a man working late in the office who discovers that he has the power to time skip items whenever he sneezes. The short film was very enjoying to watch and here are some stuff that I picked up from it. 

Lighting: The film uses practical office fluorescent that establish a dull, late-night atmosphere. This approach keeps the early scenes grounded, allowing the comedic escalation to emerge through performance and editing rather than dramatic shifts. As the consequences intensify, the consistent lighting, focusing on the character's deteriorating state, strengthens the dark humor presented in the film. 

Camera angles & shots: A combination of mid-shots and close-ups captures subtle facial expressions and physical changes, emphasizing confusion, as well as excitement. Establishing shots of the empty office set the isolated tone, while tighter framing during the time skips builds a rhythm.
