In this clip you see the main character wake up in a hospital bed wondering what is going on.

The genre of this clip is a sci-fi style horror.  Although this is not my chosen genre it is another film that is close to the style I want my film to be like.

The mise-scene is again important as is meant to be a deserted city. The main aspects are: props, setting and body language. The props are used well as you can at all times see something on the floor which gives you the opinion that everything happened quickly. The fact there is papers on the floor suggest there was a large amount of panic going on whilst the pandemic was happening. This gives a sense of fear for the audience. The fact things haven scattered about suggests there was rioting going on. This gives the audience the opinion that this is quite realistic.

The setting is very good as it looks completely deserted and that nobody has been around for a while. This alone makes the audience feel worried as they are used to seeing London as a never stopping city. The fact it show key points in London and that they are also deserted suggest whatever has happened it has either killed everyone or they have been evacuated. The body language of the main character is good as it makes him seem worried and unknowing of what happened to make London like this. This allows the audience come into the realism of the situation and imagine the emotions he is feeling.

Camera work in this scene is mostly establishing shots. These are used extremely effectively as they show key noticeable points from London, this gives you the impression the entire UK looks like this. This again allows for the audience to believe in the situation. There are some close-ups of his face, these shows you the fear he is face waking up in this seemingly ‘new world’.  This amounts to making an immersive viewing of the film.

The film stock is a digital recording which is strange way to film but it works for this film as it gives a strange tone and effect. This makes it seem like it was done for artistic choice as it makes it look like everything is infected including the air. The lighting is high key and this helps to create this overly flushed tone which makes everything seem infected.
