How Dystopias use language to convey their setting in their society and how this reinforces their warning to us the reader.

• Minority report
• The society is betrayed as a utopia like many dystopias are by the cleanliness of public places by of the clean smooth white faces that cover the buildings Interior and exterior walls as well as the mall’s floor.
• In the mall scene, the exposure of the camera is up too high leading to overexposure of these white surfaces making them appear even cleaner and perfect.
• Within the mall scene chase scene soft classical music, with the selected instruments of a calming timbre is played throughout it despite the tension of the protagonist’s Johns potential capture. This along with everyone else seeming to not notice John and Agatha stumbling around shows the calm numbness of the citizens going about there life in a world which they think is a Utopia.
• This supported the fact that precrime prevents all murder try to show how its a Utopia
• However, from the scene where the spiders are released, we see public residence to be dirty with rats crawling around as well with what appears to be a homeless man and a drug addict in the entranceway.
• We also see the total invasion of privacy when the spiders take there eye scans and everyone in building stops whatever they are doing and let the spiders do their tasks. One such example is when 2 people are in a violent fight and they stop halfway through
• The bird’s eye view shot going over the walls as people move through different rooms show the total surveillance the state has over the people no matter whether they are as well with the broken glass that covers some of the rooms show the destruction of this privacy
• The music during this scene such as the tremolo cellos which have a large amount of dissonance with the deep double bass and synthy sub-bass provides a lot of tension to scene and shows how uncomfortable it is for the residence. Also the spacey sound with a large low self filter and been boosted around the higher frequencies shows an element of unnatural to this and makes it undesirable to us the audience

• Nineteen eighty-four
• Gorge Orwell proposes the power a state can have by changing language
• Like Minority report

• Clockwork orange
• The fact that the younger population uses Nadsat(the made-up language) and the rest of the population use English suggests that their is a segregation between the two.
• The fact that Nadsat is Russian influenced and given it was from the time(1960-70s) where the west feared the USSR taking over suggests that USSR succeeded (or are succeeding) in the communism take over or that the USSR and USA came to some agreement and have since agreed to coexist inside each other.
• “Is it better for a man to have chosen evil than to have good imposed upon him“
• “Goodness is something chosen. When a man cannot choose he ceases to be a man.”
• The not-self cannot have the bad, meaning they of the government and the judges and the schools cannot allow the bad because they cannot allow the self
• Footballers making everybody with fright by threatening not to play next Saturday if they did not get higher wages.
  Given that footballer in our society, these are some of the highest-paid people, this suggests that this society is rather poor and can’t afford entertainment such as sport.
• The gramma used by Alex who narrates the story is quite poor suggesting the education system in this society is not great and as we see with many other aspects, probably many other features we have in our society are not great
  

• Bladerunner 2049
• Caps and the font type in the open scene give almost a military feel which gives an assertion of control
• Dirty polluted air shows decay
  Extensive uses of greys and similar patterns also indicate a kind of boringness and the destruction of the natural land scape
• Opening music is a very modern dystopia type where they use excessive amounts of synth layers and even the strings are synths as well. This clearly indicates aspects like the destruction of the environment as no natural instruments are present, destruction of the past we once knew and how alien and different the society is going to be despite only being 20 seconds into the opening scene.
• This Alien feel with the swelling (and uneven oscillations of db’s) unnatural synths also make us the audience uncomfortable
• Air so dirty that u can hardly see a 100 metres away along with the dead tree reinforces the destruction of the environment/
• Farming grubs for protein shows how despite the people must be for protein
• Protagonists interest in a dying flower shows how little of nature they actually see
• The Pyramid like structures / Egypt symbolism almost as if Wallace views himself as a god or a pharaoh who is. messenger to a god. This shows the fact that the power the people who make and control the replicants are
• The Egyptian theme that the slaves follow a pharaoh that build his Pymid so when he dies he goes to heaven or the stars.
• Wallace being blind (or impaired vision at least) is good symbolism for not being able to properly see and understand the treasure of human life
• Places a sheep in front of K shows how in the beginning at least K is just being another sheep following his orders.
