This shorts films theme is all about people and their desire to keep old belongings. In my opinion it shows almost a negative viewpoint on them as they are holding onto the past, not letting go as they have personal attachments to these old belongings. This all links into the main focus of this film which I think is to portray a small handful of the life’s and hidden stories behind some of the locked doors in the warehouse.
I think that Ava Weber was really successful in portraying these emotions but still keep distant and detached with the use of long shots around the corners and not showing close ups on the contributors faces. This is all a way of creating a cold feeling to the film reflecting on the warehouse settings.
Something that stood out in the film to me was the opening and closing of the shutters. This was shown towards the beginning and end of the film as if it was to show the opening and closing of the warehouse. This may imply that the film portrays a full day and the events that occur within the warehouse.
The sound throughout this film stood out as it was very minimalistic. At times there was only sounds of footsteps, locks and doors opening and closing. This was then enhanced at moments with the use of music and voiceovers. This minimalistic approach with the sound also adds to the empty and quiet corridors throughout the warehouse.
