Over


 OVER




'Over' rejects the typical narrative and is in reverse chronological order, something contributing to the sense of tension and mystery surrounding the film's content, as the spectator is unaware of what has happened to result in this police investigation, as they slowly get given more clues before the answer is revealed. This is a clever and innovative way arranging narrative. 

Over's cinematography consists predominately of wide shots, intertwined with photograph's of a man's belongings clearly taken as evidence. The wide shots make the spectator feel as if they're observing the event from a distance, rather than being involved in the action. The photographs act as clues, hinting at what has happened. By including these photographs, the man becomes more personalised and the spectator is able to empathise more with his character, despite never being introduced to him alive. 

Diegetic sound in Over gives it a sinister feel, with most shots being accompanied by silence, with the occasional pocket of dialogue, creating an uncomfortable, solemn feel as this film diverts from the typical use of a non-diegetic score, and reliance on dialogue to portray its events.
