THEMES BEHIND MY SHORT FILM

1.MEMORY AND THE PAST:

THE KNOCKING SOUND REPRESENTS MEMORIES THAT WON'T FADE. EVEN WHEN WE TRY TO FORGET , THE PAST FINDS A WAY TO RETURN.

IN THE FILM , EVERY KNOCK PULLS THE MAIN CHARACTER DEEPER INTO HER OWN MEMORIES.THE FLASHBACK SCENES AND SOUND DESIGN SHOW HOW THE PAST AND PRESENT COLLIDE - VISUALLY AND EMOTIONALLY.

2.GUILT AND REGRET:

THE REAL FEAR IN THE FILM DOES'NT COME FROM A GHOST - IT COMES FROM GUILT.

THE GIRL FEELS HAUNTED BY SOMETHING SHE ONCE DID OR COULD'NT STOP. AS THE
KNOCKING CONTINUES SHE'S FORCED TO FACE WHAT SHE'S BEEN AVOIDING.

3.FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN:

SUSPENSE COMES FROM WHAT WE CAN'T SEE. THE DARK HALLWAY AND THE CLOSED DOOR CREATE MYSTERY AND TENSION. THE KNOCKING SOUND BECOMES A SYMBOL OF THE UNKNOWN , SOMETHING OUT OF REACH.

4.FACING THE INNER SELF:

WHEN THE GIRL OPENS THE DOOR , SHE ISN'T JUST FACING A MEMORY - SHE IS FACING HERSELF.

THIS MOMENT REPRESENTS SELF-CONFRONTATION , ONE OF THE STRONGEST IDEAS IN PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLERS.
