Short of the Week

I just watched a short of the week called "Intrusion" by Jake Michel. This short documentary was a live-action filming of a home invasion. This film was made to inform people of human nature. The film starts out with a man talking to the camera saying that there is someone in the house, and that he is going to go downstairs to check it out. It is very dark in the house so you can't see very much going on. What you can see is that the door to the house is open and things are knocked over so it appears as though someone really did break in. The man then grabs a knife to protect himself and shuts off the light to his camera as we watch a man walk out of the bathroom. What we find out is shocking, the man in the bathroom lives in the house along with three other people, and the man holding the camera is in fact the intruder. I would say this was a an okay documentary because all though it did keep me on the edge of my seat the entire time and was very action pact, there was very little talking so I didn't quite pick up on the information the author was trying to get through.
