Fade to black (2004)

Director: Gary Martin

Starring: Sheridan Smith

Synopsis: This film tells the story of a woman who seems to be obsessed and in denial of the state of her relationship with a seemingly new ex boyfriend who was ‘stolen’ away from her by a friend. She feels the only way to get him back is by having comestic surgery.

It filmed as if it’s the main characters video diary/blog of the going on’s in her life and more specifically events which relate to her ex boyfriend and his relationship.  She fluctuates from the emotional extremes of being angry to upset throughout the whole film. The denial she shows gathers sympathy from audiences as you see her breaking down during the whole film. You understand that she is clearly distraught about the whole situation and that she is finding it hard to cut ties with her feelings for this man.

The personal filming makes it feel like the audience have undercovered her secrets; voyeuristic maybe?

You sometimes feel like you shouldn’t be seeing or hearing some of the things she says because they sound so personal. the way the camera is dropped at the end and that’s all we see, we as the audience feel helpless like maybe we could have done something to help her. Or another idea is that these videos have been uncovered after her death which we assumed happened.
Also some audiences may feel like they can relate to some things she's feeling, developing empathy and understanding with her extreme attitude to the situation.
