The Ellington Kid

The film begins in close up, with a knife cutting some meat. This shot sets the tone for the rest of the film as it foreshadows events that occur later in the film, surrounding the topic of knife crime. The use of a close up means that the viewer can't see who is using the knife, which builds tension, whilst the use of artificial lighting mimics the bright light used in kebab shops and suggests that it is night time, which adds to the sense of unease for the spectator. The characters are seen in the centre of the frame, filmically stating that these are the main characters, with the boy on the left being the main protagonist and narrator of the film.

'Echo' is a short film, written by James Walker, and directed by Lewis Arnold. The narrative is inspired by a real life incident that was witnessed by the writer, James Walker, in central London. The narrative explores the devastating and prolonged effects that a father's death can have on his family. Arnold wanted the audience to "still feel like the character exists" after the end of the film. He also hoped that the audience would, "take ownership of that character in their own mind". In order to achieve this effect, Arnold had to carefully select the actress to take on the role. He therefore rightly selected Lauren Carse to play the character of Caroline. Carse would often have strangers approaching her whilst she was on set offering her help, as a result of her brutally convincing performance. The short film does cause the audience to interpret it in their own way, allowing them to ask questions such as, 'why is she reliving her experience?' ...
