Analysis on films - 28 Days Later

In '28 Days Later' I rather liked the idea of having very little dialogue, this is also similar to the beginning of Get Carter. When the man wakes up in hospital in '28 Days Later', the audience doesn't really have a great idea what is going on, the absence of music is very effective, this also allows the audience to hear even the most minute of details, including the fluttering of his eyelids. Due to this emphasis on the silence, very normal and generic sounds seem even more dramatic and eerie, for instance, the opening of the Pepsi can, which seems very loud and almost surprising purely because the audience are used to just hearing his footsteps and the odd cry of "hello?". For about 10 minutes the audience are not listening to much other than slight increases in dramatic music, when the main character sees the empty car, lots of tension and suspense is built from the increase in the speed of the music. The whole nothing-bad-has-actually-happened technique when the car alarm goes off is very effective as it lulls the audience into a false sense of security. I personally found it interesting when the main character finds out that there has been an evacuation through the newspaper and the music then speeds up. Even though there is no increase in action or suspense, the music speeds up to give the audience the impression of worry and that nobody knows what is going on.
