Echo

 Echo

Narrative: This film doesn't really adhere to the three act structure as there's no clear beginning, middle and end. This flexibility makes the film more interesting, as if you put it in chronological order: it would be her receiving the original phone call, then repeating the phone call, then arguing with her family in the garage, however this arrangement isn't as interesting, and the film would have no reason to be called Echo, as there's no sense of echoing.

Ending: This film has an open ending, as we aren't sure of she continues faking these phone calls, or if she stops. This is satisfactory in some senses, because it's sort of what we expected to happen, but unsatisfactory in other senses, because the ending raises more questions than it answers. 

Main Character: The spectator's response to the main character changes throughout the film, as at first we feel sympathetic towards her, and then more angry when we find out she was faking the phone call, and then at the end we regain a bit of this sympathy, as we understand that this is her way of processing her trauma after the actual phone call she must've received

Micro-elements: In the final scene, the micro-elements are different in a way that makes the spectator feel as if they are witnessing the actual phone call. For example, she's no longer wearing a school uniform like she did in the previous fake phone calls, which makes it seem more real as she's not trying to gain sympathy from appearing like a young school girl. Her performance also changes, in the call at the end, she reacts more slowly, as if she's processing the news for the first time, whereas in the first call, she reacts quickly, like she knows what to say and has done this before. This difference in the micro elements are important in suggesting that the final phone call as the real one.
