The Book of Eli
- Mise-en-Scene- Secluded forest-dull, lifeless emphasised with the dead body that is then shown in the tracking shot. Falling leaves- sound effects, low key light (blue, green and black, representing decay or death).
- Sound- Diegetic heavy breathing not noticeable at first as It blends in with the soft music playing in the background (non-diegetic), leaves hitting the ground- sound effect, volume control, when we can hear him breathing.
- Camera- Tracking shot through the forest- showing a dead body on the floor, then a close up on a gun making the audience aware that this was a suicide and the world isn't how it used to be, point of view shot from the cats perspective (rare and not seen very often) and an extreme close up of o gas masked face, also giving the audience context to where the breathing is coming from.
- Character- One character, no dialogue creating mystery and gives him an ominous demeanour, heavy clothing implying he needs to keep warm, camouflage depicting that he needs to be able to hide from something- makes the audience question why and what has happened to the world.
- Gender- male, converges with the hunter gatherer stereotype as he is having to kill and collect food, gives the world much more of an animalistic, primal feel to it.
