Genre: Science Fiction/Action
Mise En Scene:
Setting- USS 'Kelvin' Federation Starship, Outer Space, 2233-04.
Costume- Futuristic Star Fleet uniform. Different coloured uniforms depending on rank of individual (blue= captain etc.)
Facial expressions and body language- stern, harsh looks from commander of 'Kelvin'.
Lighting- lots of yellows, blues and dull greys.
Camera:
- Camera tracks along the moving starship to eventually reveal the entirety of it's form.
- Camera follows the commander as he walks through the automatic doors and then pans around him to show his front before first diagetic dialogue is provided.
- Camera zooms into commander as he sits down at his chair.
- Camera pans 180 degrees from commander's shocked face to the enormous Romulan enemy starship coming through the black hole- a stunning thing for the crew of the USS Kelvin to see.
- Fast paced camera shots displaying the full extent of the attack by the Romulan ship, Narada.
- Camera follows the enemy missile as it separates and then rotates 180 degrees as it impacts the Star Fleet ship.
Sound:
- Technological and computer-like sounds provided when viewing the USS Kelvin for the first time.
- Off-screen diagetic friendly radio messages are heard as the ship approaches the spot in space where they have been sent.
- Lots of explosive sounds, frantic shouts and screaming can be heard as the ship is struck by enemy missiles.
- All sound quietens as a crew member is sucked out into space. This effect gives the impression of space having no sound.
- Off-screen yells ordering to get the crew ready to evacuate the ship.
- Off-screen sound of doors opening as the commander enters the enemy spacecraft.
Editing:
- Lots of clean cuts used, especially towards the end when footage from both spaceships is used to create a sense of suspense and tension.
- Clever use of fading from black wall into next scene.
- Lots of quick clean cuts of shots displaying the damage of the USS Kelvin- explosions and crew members in distress.
