Thriller/action
This short film appears in a format that makes it seem as though it is all done in a single continuous shot, this technique is often used by directors to try and ramp up tension in viewers, by having no cuts, viewers are constantly seeing what's happening from a single position, which makes their mind start to wonder and fear what is happening off screen. This technique also makes it feel less like you are watching a film: whenever you watch a film and there is a cut it subliminally reinforces the fact that what you are watching isn't real, and that are not in that situation.The camera seems also to be reminiscent of the use of cameras in videogames: the camera doesn't never cuts and it often placed into the positions that frames the protagonist and environment in the same way a videogame would. This is also seen in the use of music: the track that plays at both the beginning and end of the film, is part of the soundtrack for the videogame "The last of us".
Horror
This film uses a first person perspective for most of the camera work.This helps create a feeling on entrapment which fits with themes of the film, such as the repeating cycle that the protagonist goes through. It also uses a first person perspective to draw audiences into the film and placing them into the shoes of the protagonist.
