2. Sound
• At the beginning of the sequence they have used
tense music, however they have put a few pauses
of silence. This creates tension and makes the
audience feel uncomfortable.
• Another sound technique used is sound effects.
Sounds effects that have been used are; car sound,
lighting and fire explosions (coming out of chimneys
of buildings).

3. Editing
•
•
In this opening they have used cross cutting. This is when you see a
close-up of the building and then an eye of a person with a
reflection of the view to then go back to the close-up of the building.
This allows the audience to see more settings and get a feel of what
2019 looks like and how its different to our current year.
Also, an insert shot has been used. The insert shot is of the out side of
the building, to going inside of the building. This shows what the
building looks like on the inside and outside.

In this sequence they have used many camera shots and angles.
A long shot has been used. This show what the year 2019 looks like
and gives an overview of the main setting, that will be shown
throughout the sequence.
Also a low angle shot has been used. This is used to give the effect
that the audience is looking up at the building. It has been used to
make the audience feel small, and to make the viewer understand
that the building that is shown is a massive structure
Another shot used is a close-up. The close-up is of the eye. This makes
the audience realise that this person is memorised with the building
and is intrigued with the structure

5. Mise en scene
•

•
•
•
The opening of this sequence is set in 2019 in Los Angeles
Props used are flying cars and building that have a different and
unrealistic feel to show a big change over the years.
Also the lighting in the room where the man is, is low key. This gives
the man a mysterious and eerie feel. By using this lighting it makes the
audience give a judgment in whether he is the antagonist or not.
Another things, is that the title is in red. This could suggest violence
and/or death.
Costume wise the man that we have been introduced to briefly is
wearing a suit. This could advocate that he is involved in authority or
it could mean that he someone important.
