2. Camera/Mise en Scene Sound
The lighting and set up of this scene is much
similar to any typical news channel. The point
of this scene is to inform us that they have
cured cancer.
The woman introduces ‘Alice Krippin’ a scientist
who has supposedly cured cancer.
3. Camera/Mise en Scene Sound
The set up is alike the other news woman's
shot, but this one hasn’t got that much of an
interesting background and its more gloomy
which maybe signifying that she isn’t as
wonderful as she’s making out.
The woman describes how she’s found the
cure for cancer
4. Camera/Mise en Scene Sound
Each of these scenes last about 5-7 seconds
long, and they are showing a deserted New
York. Because we hear of this wonderful
cure of cancer then we see the deserted
scenes 3 years later, it signifies that the cure
may of killed everyone rather than cured
them. The way that in some of the scenes
we see birds fly around gives us an
impression that not everything is gone.
In all of these scenes, there is bird noise
which implies that even if the city which
looks like New York is deserted, there are
still birds which seems odd. In a few of the
scenes we see some birds walk around and
fly which makes bird noises which is a
diegetic sound.
5. Camera/Mise en Scene Sound
We then move straight onto this next scene where we
see a car driving down the road in the deserted city
which signifies something that isn’t normal. The way
the scene is filmed from a birds-eye view just
highlights the way the director is using birds to
illustrate that not everything is dead. The lighting is
playing on the shadows of the buildings and some
light patches which gives it a more atmospheric
scene.
We hear a roaring engine of a car that is obviously not
a small car, because it sounds more like a sports car
which maybe signifies that whatever is driving is rich.
Non-diegetic sounds of the car because we can see
the car.
6. Camera/Mise en Scene Sound
We then move into the car and see a hand
holding a shot gun. The gun immediately
signifies danger to us because he’s in this
place that’s deserted with a gun, so we
think that maybe he’s killed them.
We can still hear the noise of the car but
not much else.
7. Camera/Mise en Scene Sound
Then we see a man for the first time
dressed in black which is the colour
traditionally the ‘baddy’ colour to wear.
The camera angle is quite interesting
because we can see he’s the driver, and
we can see quite a lot of his face.
Not much sound is going on , but there
is still car noise in the background.
Because the car noise is quite intense, it
makes it more of a stressful scene to
watch.
8. Camera/Mise en Scene Sound
We then see the dog for the first time
showing us that its not just the man and the
birds that seem to be in this city. The dog
signifies protection because dogs protect
well.
Still just the car noises in the background.
9. Camera/Mise en Scene Sound
We then see the car from behind driving into
a whole flock of birds at a rapid speed which
kind of signifies he’s really dangerous and
doesn’t particularly care about wildlife. The
lighting suggests its daytime, but its quite
high key lighting.
Huge sounds of revving engines and car
noises and birds flapping wings.
10. Camera/Mise en Scene Sound
We then shoot straight back from the
perspective of someone sat in the car on the
back centre seat so you can still see the
man, and its sort of a match-on- action type
of shot.
The sounds are more car noises than birds in
this scene.
11. Camera/Mise en Scene Sound
We all of a sudden jump to a different
perspective of the tanks when the car spins
around the corner which is a bit different
because so far, we’ve only seen the inside
the car and following the car.
We hear a big skidding of the car as it goes
around the corner which is quite a ‘action’
kind of scene which signifies that this man
could be dangerous.
12. Camera/Mise en Scene Sound
As he turns the corner and shoots down the road,
we see posters which we can read as ‘GOD STILL
LOVES US.’ which is a bit of a strange poster to be
put all over tank, but you wonder why he ‘still’
loves us because this suggests that we have done
something wrong/bad which we start to wonder
about. The way that we follow the car around the
tank and down the road, we then fade into the
next thing that the director wants us to see.
A car driving into the distance, aka the noise
fading out.
13. Camera/Mise en Scene Sound
Slightly before this scene, we see the dog
look at something which signifies that
something's about to happen. Then all of a
sudden, things begin to change as the man
becomes anxious which reflects how the
audience begins to feel.
At this point, he looks towards the dog and
asks ‘What do you see?’
14. Camera/Mise en Scene Sound
The way the director has made the camera
be from the point of view of the driver, it
makes us more nervous because its
something that every driver dreads and we
all feel bad for what might happen. This is
also another animal what is alive/ in this
dead city, so we now begin to wonder
weather all animals and this man have
survived? But a dear running through New
York city is odd which makes it more
interesting.
The car breaks and makes a lot of noise as
the deer leaps across the screen and in front
of the car.
15. Camera/Mise en Scene Sound
We then cut to another camera angle that
we haven’t seen before and its kind of from
the point of view of the front of the car, but
the man isn’t worried about not hitting the
animals, he appears to be chasing them
which signifies once again, that the man is
dangerous. The camera tracks are in line
with the headlights of the car where the car
could potentially hit one of the deer.
Lots of heavy footprints running and moving
away from the camera.
16. Camera/Mise en Scene Sound
He turns to aim at a deer which makes us
worried in case he hits it because deer are
quite respectable animals that most of us
like signifying this to be a bad thing. He
misses then carries on driving to hit one of
them. The Denotation of the scene is him
trying to shoot the deer, but the connotation
could be that he needs to kill the deer to eat
in this lonely city.
Car noises and feet running mostly.
17. Camera/Mise en Scene Sound
There are loads of cars in the way so the car
swerves around while all the deer get away.
The camera angle is a bit odd, but the
director is trying to capture the way the car
is trapped.
Screeching breaks which is a non-diegetic
noise.
18.
19. Camera/Mise en Scene Sound
We then see the mans expression and how
they must be feeling about failing to hit a
deer. This signifies that maybe they really
needed to eat or something.
No sound is really there.
