There is very little variety In the shots that are used as there is only one location that is used and it is also a very confided space. The one main shot used throughout the film and it is a medium shot of the elevator as the doors open and close. the other shot used is a close up shot of the people in the elevator and of the number floor that the elevator is on.
The only location used in this film is the elevator as the film is about the journey of a man from the ground floor to the 9th floor. The clothing that the characters were are just shirts and tops, some of which look like holidays shirts as they are patterned and bright colours.
Throughout the film not a single word is said, so the story behind the film is interpreted through the characters movements and facial expressions. The main character is the first to enter the elevator on the ground floor. As he has to stop at every floor to add people, we notice that he becomes worried as he begins to calculate the combined body weight of all the people in the elevator. When the elevator reaches floor 5, creaking noises begin to emerge from the elevator and it suddenly drops back all the way down to the 2nd floor. when is finally arrives back at the 5th floor, the main character runs from the elevator as a very large man enters the elevator. be this may not have been a good move for him as then goes into the next elevator fill of ill people suspected of swine flu.
The editing of the film is very basic, the title is the default a sans-serif font and the credits just flick on the screen then leave several seconds later.
