The crossing is a russian horror short film takes a recognisable setting and toys with the fears that we've all experienced whilst using it, by making it home to a blood-thirsty creature.
The short film consists of many shots which have quick cuts throughout, at the beginning of the short, there are slow shots allowing the audience to be familiar with the location by showing signs then dissolve cutting to the subject trying to get a hold of someone on the phone. A shot/ reverse shot effect was used, where the viewer can see the expression of the subject and then cutting it to what the subject is looking at. This short film carries on using quick cuts making the viewer feel unsettled, as well as the fact that the subject is so focused on her phone whilst this blood-thirsty creature is lurking around trying to get the subjects attention and trapping her in the reflection where the creature surfaces. Later into the short film they use a long shot with no cuts panning around the subway to allow us, the audience to see that there is no sign of the subject or the creature, making it then more intense.The shot then stops and stays still until the reflection of the subject fully disappears meaning that she is held hostage officially with no hopes of escape and from this the short film ends.
