Evaluating the two twists for 'high maintenance'

 evaluate the two twists of high maintenance. 

In my opinion,  believe the second twist was much more effective as when we found out the man was the robot, we could've never of guessed she was also a robot too. This is due to her displaying human emotions like short bursts of anger and slight regret as they took him away in the lift and she goes back to kiss him as if she slightly regrets what she did and feels guilty for returning him. A robot would never show signs of emotion which makes the twist more effective and makes us more surprised when we eventually find out the truth. Foreshadowing is used which are hints of the twist to come, these include her make up being very pale and her eyes emotionless. The 'mechanical sex' pun indicates that they are both robots but the audience would off never of guessed the first time they saw it that this indicates she's a robot too.  There are also clanking noises when she's eating dinner which suggests she's a robot. She also says something at the beginning when they're eating dinner and by the time her new husband comes along, he said the same things as she did but she does not notice. This could suggest they're programmed to say specific things due to them being robots. The title ' high maintenence is also a subtle hint as it has two meanings. The first is that maintenance used on machines and the other is that she trying to get their relationship working requires high maintenance. I also believe the first twist [that the man was the robot] was still effective due to the audience not knowing its a sci fi as the lighting and music suggests it's a drama.

A camera angle being used in this short film is a close up shot of both characters when they are at the dinner table. This shot displays their emotions which is effective as it makes it harder to guess the twist ending.  another camera angle used is the side close up where the camera focuses on the side of her head as she's at the table and when she's on the computer the camera zooms out from her room until the screen goes black. A camera angle effectively used in this film is when at different times of the film, they are switched off and an extreme close up is used as we see the blank expression of their face right up close to the camera. The lighting used is dark, ominous which foreshadows a dark twist to come. The music and the silence used is quite creepy and well as their voices being quiet and low as they're eating dinner as if they're not interested in each other due to neither of them showing emotion which is a hint to them being robots. The only sounds that we hear at times is the clanking of cutlery and her gulping as she drinks the whole of her wine glass.
