The Overload is a short film inspired by Sergei Mikhailovich Eisenstein’s development of montage to convey meaning. Using the concept of dialectics by having two very different scenes edited between each other, this film presents a conflict of images, which serves to reinforce the character’s state of mind: confused, disoriented, lost. The tensions of the film are emphasised by its weird framing (sometimes only getting part of the character’s face) and its close ups, furthering the uncomfortable and odd atmosphere created, with a purpose to place the viewer in the character’s mind.
