The website above is some research i have done on a short film with a rape scene in

Diaries written in blood is about a teenage who keeps on getting raped by her mothers other half. It's mainly set in her bathroom where she tells her written diary about the horrible events that happens between her mothers lover and her. During this short film the victim talks about her dad and mentions how he shouldn't of left her mother and her. Basically blaming the dad in the way of whats happened with her up bringing. I love how it's been directed to make everyone know he started with the girl as soon as he moved in with her mother and forced her to have sex. He made he lose her virginity,and her innocence which she cries over in pain.

They use a number of techniques during this short film to draw the audience in, they use different shading when the girl is getting raped and  the 'stepfather' steps in and covers the sunlight from the windows to show her facial expression as well as hearing partly he's voice with echos a couple of times to get that effect. During this scene you can see her curled up looking over her blood in disperse with the man, however to make her look more vulnerable she should be curled up in the corner of her bed to make her look vulnerable  and this will then show her level of maturity.

At the begging of the film, you're not quit sure what's going on, till you start putting the girls problems together, i like the scene with her mother as it shows the audience that's she angry with her because her boyfriend is forcing her to have sex. It also shows us how she cannot talk to her mother about this as she doesn't want the situation to get worse.

The ending of the film is a great way to end as the person decides she cannot kill herself so she has to kill him to get all the pain to stop. they use a number of thriller conventions during this short film. The lighting changes in the most important parts like the 'stepfather'. I like the black and white effect on the diary and the pencil. it's great how the music comes into that part and makes it all dramatic. The use fast music to make the audience know something is going on.
