1. Quick editing and short shots in the action scenes,
foresty surroundings giving an eerie feeling in the non-action scenes. Gives a sense of isolation.
Sounds effects shown through growling of the wolves and gun noises, not much non diagetic music since a lot of time is spent building up suspense. Calmer, soft music when the woman was staring out of the boarded up window to show she has a connection with the werewolves.
AT the end when the sergent was lying on the floor filling the gas filled room the wolves walked in there was a low angle shot on the wolves to show a sense of false authority... also cut into an extreme close up of the sergents eyes when he's just turning into a warewolf, which is needed to show the transformation in more detail.
2. The quick editing in the film gives an impression that this film is an action film and the werewolves in it gives it a sci-fi horror genre.
3. Equilibrium is a point in a which the film runs smoothly. This happens at the beginning of the film where the soldiers are dropped off in the forest to do their training. A dis-equilibrium is where a disruption happens in the film. This happens when the cow drops from above them and causes discomfort amongst the group and confusion of where the dead creature comes from. The new equilibrium is the resolution of the film. An example of this is when Pvt. Cooper exits the house after all the werewolves are dead and he survives.
4. Typically, the majority of the soldiers in this film are male. Stereotypes are played upon throughout with the male characters behaving like cliche 'lads'; one of the characters mentions throughout that all he wants to know is the results of the football match. On the other hand, the female character responds by saying that she didn't even know the football was on, again playing to stereotypes.
