Saturday Morning

This is a great great short-film and I wish its director, Santi Trullenque, will make more stuff as good as this short-film. Saturday Morning consist in a one single shot (a 360∫ traveling) that starts inside a house and comes outside to show us an unexpected event. Everything seems great but (as David Lynch movies) Santi Trullenque show us that that's not the way thing are. Everything is so calm and at the same time so tense. You can't stop watching it until the end when you see the great ending.

The way of practicing the language of the moving image contributes to the impact on the spectator's interest and attention. It is heightened in relation to the movement itself; one pays more attention to the edges of the frame or the limits of its visible field and to what might appear from one second to the next. Trullenque creates a suspense effect using this play and interaction with the spectator's perception. What is appearing now from the right? What was it we saw, and what is now disappearing out of the frame to the left? To me, the main characters are the sound and the camera itself.

Great exercise of film-making and I just can wish a lot of luck to its director! Two thumps up!!!
