Genre/Atmosphere

The tone of the opening in the present is one of time standing still. In contrast the football game is fast paced and delivers great anticipation.

The mood of the opening in the present is very peaceful and reflective. It gives you a feeling of the calm before the storm and leaves you wondering what tragic event is about to unfold. The football game on the other hand is full of suspense and action.

The present Atmosphere is created by shooting at what appears to be dawn, with the sun rising and hardly a car on the roads or any sign of living things. As well as a quiet voiceover and soft piano music. Contrastly the music becomes loud up beat drums when it cuts to the football game which builds suspense to the tight game along with a mixture of fast action shots and slow motion.

    You have described the mood but you should also add some examples of how film techniques have been used by the director to create this mood (look back at your list of film techniques to see what you can discuss). Then focus back on looking at four techniques in more detail in your next posts.
