Panic Attack!

For 'Panic Attack!', a short sci-fi film depicting an overwhelming invasion, the primary emotional responses are intense Fear and Anxiety, driven by the unstoppable nature of the alien threat and the seemingly sealed fate of Montevideo. Anticipation builds as the audience awaits the inevitable confrontation. Awe is evoked by the formidable scale and power of the invading flotilla of spaceships and robots. Excitement stems from the action and spectacle of the invasion, while Surprise is a natural reaction to the sudden, unexplained appearance of the alien force. A sense of the Disturbing arises from the cold, mechanical nature of the invaders. Sadness and Empathy are present for the unsuspecting city facing destruction, and Hope is notably low, as the plot explicitly questions its existence.
