Colour
With the use of saturation, it makes the setting seem more alienated and raw-that the world could end in a matter of days or even hours. We were inspired by Channel 4's Utopia, which uses this technique throughout.
Sound
With the report at the start of our opening, our idea was that this narrator guides the audience but also makes them curious to know the truth, especially how the narrator is fearing the worse. With the use of certain images like the bridge which is mentioned in the narration itself, it brings the story together and it implies that these images have some significance.
The sound that we use in the flashes also guides the audience along and reveals more about the plot but again builds anticipation with the use of the phrase, 'Who is to blame?' at the end of this section.
Also, the voiceover at the end so tells a story of a girl being lost and scared for her own life. This introduces a possible character even though her face is not shown. It also depicts a corrupt society and that this evacuation has not gone to plan.
Furthermore, the non-diegetic sound used with images is a sound effect from iMovie. The music is relatively calm which creates a dramatic contrast with the plot. For example, when Ruby (played by Annie) is running.
Camerawork
We use a camera pan which moves in the opposite direction to the runners. This creates a sense of disorder and chaos. Also, with the handheld shot with Ruby creates a more realistic feel to the story and of course introduces her character.
Also, we used close up shots for the two main characters-Nathan
and Joseph. This helps to establish their significance to the plot and having
very short durations for each of their shots creates curiosity amongst the
audience.
Mise-en-scène
The mise en scene
we used is also significant because the runners wear teenage, scruffy clothes (like trainers and ripped clothes) which signifies their panic and terror to escape from being 'analysed'
