28 days

The way that the movie 28 days later was produced adds a lot of tension to those watching. The director used multiple jump cuts throughout the movie, putting the viewer up close to the action or characters, and then suddenly pulled back away, to see how desolate they were. Combining this with the use of music (specifically East Hastings, by Godspeed You! Black Emperor) slowly building during the course of the action was an incredible way to add to the tension inherent in the film.

I find it amazing how easy and effective it is to convey emotions through a set of techniques like these.
