A voiceover is talking about the Russians planning a nuclear bomb attack, whilst the camera slowly zooms in (or flies towards) a group of mountains in the distance. Following this, a series of shots that looks at two airplanes together in the sky is overlaid with what appears to be hand-drawn titles.
2. What is conventional?
- Titles: white over a background of planes flying
- A clear antagonist (Russia) is established through what the voiceover is saying
3. What is unconventional?
- The main character is not introduced - we have no idea who it could be
- It is filmed in black and white. Although this would have not been unusual in it's day, nowadays it is more unheard of.
- Titles: appear to be hand drawn
- Sound: Music reminds me of theatrical ballet music, such as swan lake, and makes the scene in front of the audience's eyes seem much more tranquil

4. How has it inspired me?
I really like the hand drawn effect of the titles - it looks so much more personal than any usual font, although it may not be suitable for a different sub-genre of thriller, and I also quite like the black and white effect, especially since it adds a sense of mystery to what is going on.
