- Mountains in the background and light colours suggest happy relaxed atmosphere oblivious to danger or disaster - portrays a "candy in the sky" happy film
- The Father and son bonding moment at first
- Colours and relaxed atmosphere is in total contrast to the film's actual genre
- When the Father and son are driving home and on a mobile phone- accident waiting to happen, builds a lot of tension because you don't know which disaster is going to strike- in total contrast to the relexing tones of voice with the phone conversation
- When the disaster happens there is a point of view shot when the car crashes into the other and there is a long shot to show the seriousness of the situation and how much damage the car crash has caused.
- Disaster- relates to he rest of the film because it twists from a light mooded film to one where everyhting goes wrong from that incident
- the change in the tone of voice from the dad- from caring to unrgency when the on coming car crashes into the side of the car.
- Cinematography- there is a lot of facial shots in the scene, to show emotions empathises situation
- Swaps from one end of the phone conversation to the other ( Editing) - from the car to the family home kitchen.
- After the crash, the boy goes round to check on his dad and there is one last facial shot to show the panic, anxiety, shock, fright and upset on the main character's face reflects on what he feels like through out the rest of the film.
- During the last facial shot of the scene there is Non diagetic music- souns eeire and also has a serious quality to the music too.
- Scene ends with a blank screen, whislt non-diagetic sound is stilll playing and the title of the film fades in to increase dramaticity.
- Diagetic sounds (natural to the film) at the start of the film with the rushing water in the river, and in the car you can hear the hum of the engine, then you hear the car crashing and the shattering glass etc.
- After the title sequence there is editing - a time lapse to a year later
