* DraconicHumanoid: The man imagines himself as a terrifying winged demon, after he roars at the beast/dog and makes the dog back down.

* HeWhoMustNotBeHeard: The man never speaks, not even when the policeman is calling out to him near the end. Whether he can't or he just won't is unclear.
* ImagineSpot: The common animals of the forest (which actually turns out to be an urban park) are imagined by the man, in his fear, to be monstrous beasts.

* ImpairmentShot: Essentially the entire cartoon, which mimics the idea of blindness by only showing onscreen what the man touches or hears.
Added DiffLines:
* RepeatCut: The horrifying monster is roaring at the man and biting at his pants--until the man roars back. Then the monster turns back into what it actually is, a dog, and the man turns into a monster. That's followed by several repeat cuts of the shot where the man, now a winged humanoid, stretches to his full height and howls.

* TheGreatSerpent: As the man's terror mounts, a giant snake appears in the forest when he touches it. It appears to be a vine on a log.

* SilenceIsGolden: Most of the film has no dialogue, except for a bit near the end where a policeman shows up and tries to help the man.

''Blindscape'' is a 1993 animated short film (8 minutes) directed by Stephen Palmer.
The cartoon opens with a simple outline of a man, sleeping, against a white void background. As the man wakes up objects become visible--but only when he hears and/or touches them. It soon becomes obvious that the man is blind.
The man wanders through the forest, uncertainly, with leaves appearing on the ground as they crunch beneath his feet, and trees appearing as he bumps into them. He manages to grab a stick at one point, but drops it. Suddenly, animals begin appearing. Are they dogs and rabbits, or are they terrifying monsters?
