the film makes audiences more engages and on the
edge of there seats waiting for the action to begin.

A further introduction of some of the main characters names are included while more of the setting is continued
to be slowly revealed. The isolation of the landscape creates an atmosphere, as audiences will want to continue
seeing the whole of this landscape, and understand why these objects are here, and why the land is so isolated
and carefully laid out.

During this clip the producer is included, so
audiences recognise who produced this film.
Characters are introduced, and an understanding of
the divided groups may slowly be starting to
become clear. We see from the high angle shot a
divide in groups through colours. This makes
audiences want to know about this divide. One
could suggest this is breaking the convention of
action adventure, as usually the conventions of a
teen drama contains ‘cliques’.

introduced. The fact that they are the last people to
be introduced shows they are the people intended
to be remembered, as there are no more people

setting. The utopian setting relates to people now as
it Is set in a more modern world.
