This short film is based around a desperate girl who selfishly decided to use a valid disability as a way to steal from her own family and friends. This short film uses many medium and close-up shots to make sure the audience is always kept intrigued and to keep a strong narrative of the impact that this scam is having on the girls mental health over time. The lighting is natural, which may represent the emotions shes feeling being her actual real reactions. The audio is mostly diegetic, again it could be representing her emotions through the narrative and film form. Most scenes are shot outside, which helps with relatability. This short focusses on unemployed and working-class people as to shoe that when people are desperate they may take advantage of people they care for, or even random people. This creates a viewpoint that all working class people are like this using mise-en-scene, cinematography and effective editing. I think this film is an intriguing way to show how someone may deal with grief, through sneaky needs when desperation forces
