The Core.

1. How is the fact that this is a disaster film foreshadowed in the opening of the film?
There is a form of foreshadowing at the beginning to show that it's a disaster film, by people in the public randomly fainting and the city going manic. The cars in the road suddenly crash and a watch stops. This gives the audience a feel of a disaster film, because they can already tell that something bad is happening, and it's going to get worse.

3. How is sound and editing used to create tension and drama during the spaceship landing scene?
Sounds and editing are used frequently in this scene to create tension and drama by at first using calm music and then it cuts to the signal. As the connection is lost the music gets higher and faster. At this point the cuts from inside the ship and outside the ship get much quicker. As the panic increases the music gets louder and cuts even faster. As the spaceship eventually lands the music gets lower and slower. 


4. How is sound and editing used to create and ellipsis after the team first meet?
The editing used to create an ellipsis sped up to give the impression of time passing. As for the sound, it became mostly in the background, quiet as the team spoke.


5. How are two of the following used to create tension and drama during the lightning storm on rome?

• Sound
• Editing
• Camera work
• Mise-en-scene. 

During the lightning storm in Rome , at first the music is low as the scene starts. Mostly talking, and then the television stops working and from then on the music is fast and loud and increases throughout to show panic and drama. The camera work is mostly close up and wide shots to see people's facial expressions and to see what is going on, and where it's happening.
