In the first shot off the buses, the camera is held steady. This is different to the shots of him on the bus as these are slighty unsteady. This is done because it adds a sense of reality and influences the audience to imagine they are on the bus. The opening scene is set in the small confined space of a bus, however they managed to involve a wide variety of shot angles and distances. They linked these shots together with a large variety of transitions to keep the audience interested. The sound compliments the imagery well because the imagery of the character sitting on the bus is sad and mellow which is similar to the music. They have used a simple slow piano score to reflect the pace of the film. For the credits they have used a simple dark font which compliments the film as it reflects the pace and the atmosphere of the film. They have framed the opening scene well as they have included the sun light to make the scene more attractive to the audience.
