These short horror films are about five to ten minutes long with a plot that stays the same throughout the whole film.
Both films consist of similar elements and different horror elements that are used to create fear throughout the audience.
The elements in these films that are used to create horror consist of great camera movements/angles, lighting, - sound, unique plots, and the use of blood.️ These short films use a unique variety of actions that are brought along the film to create this fear by using blood and little to no movement in the characters.

At the start of "curve," there are multiple scenes of water, almost like waves crashing (0:07). It then cuts to the girl that is sitting on the curve (0:15). For instance, I think this could be trying to show us that she was washed up there and ended up on the curve with no other escape but below.
