In the film ‘In time’ the director, Andrew Niccol, uses many significant scenes throughout the film to present certain themes and ideas to the audience. My theme study focused around the connecting idea of dehumanisation. Throughout the theme study I examined the visual technique of Long shot, Costume, Zoom out and the verbal technique of dialogue.
