Operator

Operator

Operator is a short, Drama based film. Its directed by Caroline Bartleet and It shows a women named Laura who works as an operator taking emergency calls for fire services. The caller is a young mother named Grace and in a panicking tone keeps telling Laura that there is fire in the house and her son is trapped in the bedroom. Throughout the short film Laura needs to keep calm her self and to advise and give directions to keep Grace safe however, Grace is panicking too much so Laura tries to help her as much as she can until the fire services arrive. At the end fire services arrive and Grace and her son is safe so as well as Laura, the audience is relieved too.

This film in my opinion is the best film out of all the films that we've watched because of the way suspense is created in a very simple way. Sound is used very well to create suspense because sometimes we cant hear the voice of Grace in the phone and also sometimes we can hear stuff breaking and Grace screaming too which creates tension because we want to know if Grace and her son is ok.

Also another scene that I really like is at the end where now Grace and her son is safe so she hangs up and then we can see Laura all relived (which at the same time so is the audience) but then, has to take another phone call so she has to go through the same thing again which really terrified me and how much she has to go through.

However, as much as I like this film, I am unsure on how I would use some ideas of this film In my film. My film plot idea that I have is very different than this but, I will still think about it because I really loved this film.
