Influential productions for our short film

Whilst researching student short films to give us help with our production I came across this film the main concept in which attracted me to this production is that the film is filmed in reverse. This concept I feel was executed very effectively as by starting the production at the end of the story and then reversing the production to the beginning it keeps the audience guessing and contemplating how the story had begun for things to end in such a huge climax.
I hope to mirror this concept of reverse editing in my short film production as I feel it makes the film really unique and engaging to the viewer.
Having a moving camera in the film I feel was very effective as for the running scenes it enhanced the characters sense of urgency and makes you the audience feel as if you are watching from inside the scene.
The film also relates to our project title out of time as it conveys a character who through consuming a certain pills by mistake has only a short period of time left before he dies from an overdose therefore he has to choose his last moments with what he finds most valuable in life.
