short film research: The Last Note (mystery)

 This is the 3rd mystery short film I have decided to research it is called The Last Note. It is a short film about a couple who is going through a divorce due to the wife's cheating. The husband then kills his wife. After, it seemed like everything was normal when he went back home and sat on his chair while reading the note his wife left. While reading it he was drinking the wine that was on the side table. At the end of the letter, he realized she had poisoned the wine. So, in return, they both killed each other which was so unexpected. The short film had a black-and-white filter over the clips that were from the past. Also, there were many cutup scenes which helped add to the dramatic effect. For example, in every clip, the frame would get closer to them arguing which made it more serious. There was also the use of suspenseful music to make the movie feel mysterious. The voice-over also helped pull the movie together like when he was describing how upset he was at his wife and him reading the note. This just gave me an idea to use voice-over for mind thoughts. When the character is thinking about the clues I can voice over it to let the viewer know what they are thinking. Which in return will make them more interested in the movie wanting to know what will happen next.
