'Join Threlfall's unusual film 'Over' uses reverse chronological storytelling to reveal the incidents that caused a crime scene in a quiet neighbourhood. A leisurely-paced short with an overwhelming powerful and surprising resolution'

Various Styles
Minimum Language
In this short film, there is very minimal speech. There is however a lot of dietetic natural sounds like the wind blowing and the birds chirping. There isn't any non-diegetic music or anything which gives it the tense feeling. It also brings suspense.
The editing was very simple. It would jump cut back in time to the same scene. I like this as the simplicity is very powerful and effective. In this film, there aren't any main characters.
