The fly

introduction 

In his humorous  short film The Fly by Olly Williams . The tale of a getaway driver for a bank heist who, driven mad by a fly, ends up ruining everything. We are able to relate to and empathise with his frustration and anger thanks to the careful use of the microelements. The primary impact, though, is comedic as the criminal with the simplest job of all manages to ruin everything.

analysis 

sound is used very well throughout The Fly. The sound of a gunshot and conversation greet us as soon as the movie starts, but behind a black door. This suggests that it is set in the UK and that the story revolves around gangsters or rough men. It doesn't take long for us to realise this is a more humorous take on the gangster genre. The constant sound of the engine reminding us that this is still a bank robbery and that Jack Doolan, the driver, needs to be prepared to flee, heightens the tension. This sound also captures the feeling of intensity in Doolan's performance, which makes the audience laugh in the end. 

 

editing and cinematography

Editing and cinematography are both used very well to create tension . The eyeline is significant because it keeps us in Doolan's space, making it possible for us to relate with and feel sympathy for him. In addition, his eyeline is crucial for tracking the fly as it moves through space. The story's plot would be severely lacking if the conflict between Doolan and this fly wasnt so obvious.

mise en scene 

The Fly uses mise en scene to heighten Doolan's rage and frustration. Doolan's exaggerated reactions stand in stark contrast to the claustrophobic atmosphere created by the car's limited space. The calm, deserted streets outside enhance the chaos inside the vehicle. If the beginning's cockney accent did not confirm the setting, the mise en scene also aids in furthering our understanding of it. We are placed in an industrial area of the United Kingdom by the bright red post box, a basic British feature. The outdated BMW model and the leather jacket imply that it might be set in the 1980s or 1990s, and the scant technology indicates that it is most likely pre-millennial.
