introduction 

John Threlfall directed a 14-minute short film titled "Over." It is a crime scene that happened in a suburban area of the United Kingdom. It is based on a true story about a man who tried to sneak into the UK in 2012 while driving a BA flight from Angola. This movie makes effective use of microelements to give the impression that it is as realistic as possible. The narrative is presented in reverse chronological order, which effectively heightens the suspense as we start to learn the truth. 

mise en scene 

The director uses mise en scene very effectively throughout the film . He produces still shots of significant items and symbols to use as visual clues. . The vibrant orange colours of the flowers on the roadside is a clue that there potentially was a death but we as the audience do not know this yet because everything is in reverse chronological order.

As we attempt to understand the situation, the audience can gather information from the still photos of the evidence bags. At first, there aren't many hints—just jeans, a jacket, a torch, and a balaclava. the audience would initially think that it may have been a robbery , but shortly after, mittens, a five-penny coin, and a bloodied tissue are offered as "key evidence."
