COMING OF AGE
I chose this film to analyse because I really like the genre of it. It is a post-apocalyptic drama about a teenage boy and his journey of survival after someone near to him (possibly a family relative) has died. I really love these types of films as it shows and depicts how humans live on after an global disaster and shows how they survive, which I think is a very interesting subject. I also think that these types of films and books are very important as it is a very real visualization of what could be in the future. I think this genre is widely becoming more popular among teenagers, literature and film as the audience of 'dystopia' grows.Dystopia, an imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or bad, typically a totalitarian or environmentally degraded one."Although there is little dialogue, the story-line is very clear. i think that the absence of the dialogue emphasizes the narrative and makes the audiences more focused and attentive on the story-line, as it is a very serious topic, which is probably why the director wanted no dialogue. The camera work also cleverly reflects the environmental state of the world and feel of the genre. Most of the camera-work is hand-held, which was commonly used in the extremely popular 'The Hunger Games' film, which is also of the same dystopian genre and theme.
I also love the colours used in this film, they are all dark and gritty, which again reflects the events of what has happened. Mostly dark greens, browns and beige's are used in this film, which could link in with the theory of the world going back to a more natural state, and so do humans with their appearal (clothing is very earthy colours).
