Animal, dir. by Adeel Abbasi and Rafiqul Alam

Animal, directed by Adeel Abbasi and Rafiqul Alam, makes much use of the close-up. Indeed, most of the short film's six minutes are comprised of close- and medium-close-ups, a fitting choice for the subject matter, about a man with a split personality confessing a violent crime to himself. The film was shot in London, from a screenplay by Noel J. Rainford, and is currently viewable on youtube (link below). The filmmakers know how to work a camera; this is ceratinly a step above a lot of the content on that site. Arrival features some pretty good camerawork, and has a cool atmosphere, building to a solid payoff. If you've got six free minutes, check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZYkEwt2YS0
