Cubs

Length: 9:52

Cubs is a disturbing short film directed by Tom Harper and was released in 2007, about the new illegal sport of Urban fox hunting. The low key lighting creates the films gritty and dark feel with the grim setting not well lit and many characters come across as being intimidating. The music used throughout the chase sequence is fast paced which reflects the action in the sequence. There are also low angle shots of the dogs which creates a sense of fear and gives the dogs a sense of power.

The film won the BBC New FIlmmakers Award in 2007 and is an example of how corporations such as the BBC are always opening competitions for Short film and is a good way to get noticed and gain funding for making more films.
