Clean, tidy apartment in good
condition. Feminised with a
curtain room divider, table
laid neatly. Homely feel,
warmer colouring and
lighting used throughout.
Dona seems leisurely as she
moves around the apartment
she seems at home and
comfortable.
Voice over of Rocket
narrating the action.

A light bass and drum
beat places in the
background; makes it
seem quite a relaxed
environment.
Fixed position,
wide angle lens
with deep focus.
A series of dissolves and
fading in and out
indicates the passing of
time.

Also has connotations of
people fading in and
out of significance,
showing how
changeable the world
they live in is.
