2. LIGHTING
In the post-apocalyptic film ‘A boy and his dog’ there
is daylight, due to majority of the film being shot
throughout the day.
However, the setting adds contrast to the lighting as
the usage of a desert creates dullness due to the
grey/brown colours of the background. Therefore we
get the idea of a post-apocalyptic genre present.
3. SOUND
In the opening of the film ‘The maze runner’ we can hear
footsteps and opening of big metal doors almost like prison
doors, however everything is black.
Then we hear factory-like noises as it shows a man on top of a metal
caged lift, this indicates that the clanking heard is the functioning of
the lift. Also, the sound of some sort of aggressive creature occurs
throughout the opening, ending with the sound of an explosion
followed by ringing of a building alarm.
4. EDITING
Throughout The Road opening scene, it is clear
that it has been edited to have a black and
white/sepia look.
This has been done to relate
to the post apocalyptic genre, which consists of mostly grey and
green colours as it makes it look dull and almost as though a
significant event has occur to make life seem different.
5. MES- COSTUME
Costume- At the beginning of the opening scene, everybody is
wearing dull or white clothing, dresses for the females and top and
trousers for the males. The guards are wearing white tops with beige
dungaree-styled trousers over the top with black knee-high
wellie/boots and a white riding styled hat with a black stripe over the
middle.
However the women speaking into the microphone is wearing
bright pink, which stands out from everybody else. This could link to her
authority. Alongside this, there are people sat to her left and right wearing
black suits and dresses which could also link to higher status and wealth.
6. MES- MAKE UP
The make-up for the females in ‘The hunger games’ are made
to look natural and as though they don’t wear any.
However the lady in pink has a lot of exaggerated
make-up which is clearly visible. Her face is very pale,
which contrasts to the pinkness of her eye-shadow
and lipstick.
7. MES- PROPS
Within the film opening of ‘The hunger games’
multiple props are used, firstly a microphone
which the woman in pink is holding. Also a big
glass bowl is used to hold the cards with the
peoples names on, that they pick out at random.
Although these are the only props throughout the opening,
props such as bow and arrows are used throughout ‘The
hunger games’.
