Opening sequences and setting- Mad Max fury road

The first movie I will be looking at is Mad Max fury road


From this trailer I have analysed in which way the scene and setting is presented:

  • Use of narration creates brief understanding between audience and main character
  • Use of the font shows erosion, damaged, etc
  • Image of Nuclear fallout hints that there might have been some nuclear disaster












  • During negation constant references to radioactivity, nuclear, death.
  • Sudden cut to establishing shot. showing desolate, apocalyptic setting
  • Main Character wearing tattered cloths, gives impression of being a wonderer 
  • Shot of double headed lizard which can easily be associated with Mutations due to Radioactivity














  • Lizard is stopped and eaten showing lack of food In the dystopian future presented by the opening scene
  • establishing shot interrupted by hostile characters showing he is not alone and introducing audience to scene of changer 









  • Extreme long shot of chase seen shows the vast empty space which the scene is being shots. 
  • Gives a sense that there is no were to run.
  • Dust constantly hindering the vision of the audience. Further emphasising lack of nature.
