Imogen Salmon, Mae Webb, Candice Tyson and
Charlotte Hudson produce their second thriller film together. With a crew of
four directors, due to the vast array of opinions and perspectives combined
together, there was potential for a disastrous short film. However, after previous
success many we weren’t concerned. The main actors Phoebe Richardson and Megan
Harman starred in this debut film as newcomers, with high expectations due to
comparison with previous strong lead roles
.
Who would have thought the ‘green-eyed monster’
could lead to such occurrences. The spine-tingling thriller False Witness is a short film based on
the psychological and physical effects of bullying, through words and actions,
represented through the eyes of an adolescent. The statement ‘keep your friends
close and your enemy’s closer’ couldn’t be more appropriate as the film
interprets a deteriorating relationship of two teenagers.
The insight given into protagonist Rebecca’s mind
displays the depth of lies, immorality and animosity of this ‘false witness’.
Revealing one of the many flaws in the justice system, where insufficient
evidence results in an irrational aftermath. This film highlights how lies
enable avoidance of punishment, similar to the real-life case of Tia Sharp;
with her murderer initially giving a false statement, therefore not being
accused of her death.
The directors purposefully inflict information upon
the audience creating omniscience as memories unravel in the form of flashbacks,
as if they have access into Rebecca’s mind. Emotions of agitation inflate among
the audience as the truth is revealed, followed by an undesirable outcome.
