1. The warboys and Immortan Joe are chasing Furiosa as
she tries to escape with the wives. She is headed towards and then enters a
sandstorm, and the warboys follow.
2. Observation 1: Scene opens with a faraway shot of
the cars and approaching storm (camera angle)
Observation 2: Close-ups of cars and
the view of the driver (camera angle)
Observation 3: Close-ups of Furiousa
and warboys and their expressions (camera angle)
Observation 4: Dark and flashing lights
in storm (lighting)
Observation 5: Dark oranges and browns
in storm (color)
Observation 6: Warboys are white with
black clothes and cars (costuming)
Observation 7: Dramatic music once in
storm (sound)
Observation 8: Fast paced music during
chase and slower in storm (sound)
Observation 9: Lights fade out as
Furiousa drives off (lighting)
3. Observation 8:
Implication 1:
Music is fast during chase to build suspense
Implication 2:
Fast music parallels speed of cars
Implication 3:
Fast music expresses high intensity
Implication 4:
Fast music creates adrenaline in viewers to match adrenaline in characters
Implication 5:
Slow music during death of warboys
Implication 6:
Classical music represents “noble” deaths
Implication 7:
Music symbolizes what warboys stand for
Implication 8:
Big instrumental sounds make sandstorm more powerful than the characters
4. Based on this analysis, we see the blind worship of
a leader and the abuse of power. Immortan Joe does not care for the lives of
his warboys, but they believe they are dying in his honor and are doing all
they can to retrieve the wives. Immortan Joe is letting the warboys do the
dirty work involving fire and explosives as he follows along. The whole reason
the girls are leaving is because they see that Immortan Joe is a dictator and
does not care for them or his people.
