2. We looked at and analysed a variety of different film
openings and post apocalyptic sequences to help
plan our final opening. We tried to avoid directly
copying various shots and ideas but more try to
indirectly adapt them with slight unique changes.
3. Our group took inspiration from long shots used in the
walking dead, as it represented the character as lonely
and by himself. This suited our film opening as the main
protagonist has lost all in the unidentified disaster.

4. We found that in our research common codes and
conventions were use of low key lighting to create a
mysterious and almost grave atmosphere
The Divide
5. Our film opening challenges this convention
because our film opening maintains high key
lighting throughout. This was down to the natural
lighting provided at the time, as well as to suit the
narrative we had to show that the character was
waking up during the day. The lack of identification
of the disaster perhaps meant our lighting had to be
general as lighting could have been altered
depending on the disaster we used.
