Theory - Semiotics in our opening scene

In order to hint at what is to come, we used visual and auditory signs:

- We used clear, bright lighting at the beginning of our sequence to symbolise lightheartedness and safety.
- However, after the black out and kidnap, the scene becomes darker to symbolise the forthcoming danger.
- Dani wears light clothes to symbolise her innocence
- Josh wears dark clothes to suggests that he is tougher
- The news report that we hear mentions an escaped prisoner, which links to the kidnap
- The low bass music that we hear at the end of the sequence suggests danger and doom
