28 Days Later

   In 28 Days Later, the music tends to change in a short amount of time. For example, when Jim is wandering around the city of London, the music is calm. He also looks tiny compared to the rest of the scene which emphasizes his isolation in the city. Then, three minutes later the music is louder and fast paced. This highlights his growing anxiety has he sees the papers hanging on the buildings. The spinning shot shows his bewilderment and music only gets louder. As we were saying in class today, I think Jim starting out in the hospital is important because it shows how he doesn’t realize what is going on and therefore the viewer does not either because we depend on the main character for what is going on in the story. We the viewers are unaware of what will happen next just like Jim.
