1) Three camera shots:
- The sudden use of a close-up at 1.10 intensifies the scene and has the effect of making the audience wonder what the 'osterhagen' key is, and why it must not be used. It quickly makes the scene more serious and highlights that whatever they are doing is urgent, and they cannot waste time.
- The swap to an over-the-shoulder shot at 2.40 moves the focal point onto her typing and her computer. It emphasises that the situation is no longer about her and that they must focus on saving the world. It also changes from a close-up to a medium close-up, allowing us to see more of the background and symbolising their new focus, saving the world instead of only her.
- The long shot at 3.36 onwards allows us to see the full setting and emphasises the power of the signal, in that it needs to reach past the world in order to reach the doctor.
2) Camera Angles:
- The extreme high-angle shot at 3.33 intensifies the strength of the machine compared to the person, as the person is made tiny compared to the machine, which takes up most of the frame. This illustrates how helpless and powerless humanity would be without the aid of the machine.
3) Mise-en-scene:
- The setting is full of machinery and technology, communicating the science-fiction genre. The costume of the man in the suit illustrates his power, in contrast to someone like the young boy with the blue shirt, which implies he has less authority,
