Contraction is a short drama clip with an ambiguous meaning.
Whilst watching contraction I did not understand the subject matter. I think the director has created this clip to keep us guessing or to make up our own mind as to what ‘we’ think is happening.

In my opinion I thought the character (man) had died and the female was trying to resuscitate him back to life. When the ground began to move every time she applied compressions I thought it would soon break apart and he would be swallowed into the ground which would mean he has died.
This clip is also questionable as to why they are on a roof, and why he is in that state.
I did not enjoy watching this clip because of the amount of questions around it. I felt like I was watching something that had no beginning or end and wasn’t going anywhere. In my opinion I think the clip was un-successful in dealing with its subject matter as it is so ambiguous.
However, I did like the editing and the sounds, the sound and movement of the floor was what kept me engaged as it is very cleverly done, also, the women saying, “Where did you go?”, keeps us guessing as to what actually happened, even though I did not understand this clip, it did make me think creatively of a story as to what could have happened to them and how they go to be in that situation.
