We see a man coming down the stairs into what appears to be an empty hospital. He is dressed in a hospital gown suggesting he is a patient here. The camera uses a longshot, so the audience can see the whole of the set, to allow them to make their own judgements about situation that the character is in. The character shouts ‘hello’ where this echoed throughout the hospital suggesting that he is alone.
The next shot shows an awkward camera angle showing the trying to use the public pay phones, where all the phones are hanging off their hooks. This communicates to the audience the people have already been here and left in a hurry. The tilting camera angle is used, perhaps, in order for the director to convey confusion to the audience of the character via this camera shot, as the tilting of heads/ viewers of a human symbolises confusion also.
We then see that the character cannot be answered via the phone and he drops the phone in anger, and a variety of camera shots are edited in a faster sequence. A medium long shot is then used to show the character as a blurry figure to divert concentration from the character to the phones to emphasis his loneliness in this place.
Within the next couple of shots the character is seen crouching down in the form of a medium close up opening a can of fizzy drink. The next shot is an over the shoulder medium shot, which displays the scene of spilt fizzy drinks in a mess on the floor by the vending machine. The director has used these particular camera shots in the particular sequences to unravel slowly to the audience the idea of panic in the form of discretion as the scene suggests the vending machine has been broken into. Also the way he drinks the Pepsi can of drink is very interesting because the hospital looks like it has been trashed by some sort of hooligans and savage people and he drinks in a way that looks very savage.
The next scene is showing him outside, there is an ambulance sign shown in the bottom corner, which confirms to the audience that he is in a hospital setting (tilted camera shot shows that the character is in search of something as he is looking around.)
A birds eye view shot is then shown of the car park below where it appears to be an ambulance van has been turned over laying on its side. The following shot is of London bridge over the themes- where the camera shot lingers to emphasis time, again as with the other shots showing no actual human in the scene. The director emphasises this by showing the character walking through these normally busy locations alone. There is no sound, just silence, this emphasises his lonliness and also helps create suspense to these scenes and helps build tension as the audience are curious as to what is going to happen next, close up shots of the characters feet walking through empty bottles and rubbish on the streets, suggesting to the audience that something has happened here previous to the character being there, again, the ‘unknown’ to the audience is what is building suspense to the storyline. Again the audience is shown a turned over us, while the character is shouting out again ‘Hello’ and receiving no response.
The following couple of shots are long shots which I think were deliberately done to show the audience the extent of the emptiness of the streets and his loudness portrays this by no other sound overcoming his sound so his sound is very clear. The diagetic sound is similar to the old western cowboy movies when there are is empty land and usually see the big ball of hay blow past in by the wind. It also makes you feel alone as well and dull within yourself. I think the sound is very good in illustrating what it all about.
The various camera shots from long distances and unique settings, like in the tilted over bus, gives the impression that someone is watching him and spying on everything he does which makes the whole piece look very suspenseful. I think this clip is thrilling in its unique way and the camera shots and sound play a huge role this film to create suspense and confuse and thrill the audience.
