Clover field is a documentary film set in Central Park, New York. It's a fiction film based on an attack on New York by a creature that we as an audience never full get to see. It starts with one of the characters using his video camera to film his friends leaving party, so the whole film is filmed by a handheld camera with it occasionally cutting out along with unfocused clips and turning the camera around to his face talking to the camera, to make it seem like a realistic home movie. It also cuts to scenes when he is films the main girl character earlier on in the day on the train and in bed to give it a more personal effect making it seem realistic. When at the party he takes individuals aside to video their goodbyes with characters typically being camera shy, like many often would in reality. Then during the party they realised something was wrong and turned on the news. When running out of the building the camera starts to get really shaky and after escaping the building and being out on the street, they had to run into a local shop and lock the doors to get away from a dust cloud. During this scene the camera is put down on the floor and when the lights go off the screen is blank with just sound. Later on they go down to a tube station, and have to walk along the track and the man film it has to put his night light on, on his camera. This enables the audience to later see the creatures chasing the group until they find a small room along the track. Once getting out of the tube they eventually get down to the last two characters hiding under a bridge in Central Park with noises of the creature destroying the city. However, a loud noise of the creatures is the last thing we hear before the camera cuts out and the films ends.
The video below is a short trailer for the film.
