At a point of the sequence the actors are not wearing clothes and this again may enhance the natural state of man and can be embedded into the narrative. However the nudity could imply the purpose of the age restriction, the removal of clothing may in fact create a atmosphere of loss and lust together which creates a further enigma code. The police costume connotes some sort of criminal behaviour is inevitable in the narrative.
Props:The energetic horse and fire sparks create a sense of urgency which builds up to the narrative and provides an enigma code that something pacey may occur.

Sound:There is diagetic sounds from the sequence such as the birds singing ,the wind whistling, the bees buzzing, crows squarqing and even the jingle of the necklace when it is dropped. In contrast there is non-diagetic sound which was added during post production to add extra effect and to suture into the narrative, making the lyrics of the sound slightly relevant to what is going on in the scenes.

This technique can also be applied to the second man presented into the narrative.
