The director increases suspension in the second frame by adding special effects for example fog. While they Paul and Gregawa are driving along the river road because it is ‘clear’ according to George the head of the interahamwe. Because of the fog it looks peaceful and as if the Genocide is not taking place. It is a long/ establishing shot, at a low angle this is important because you can see the surroundings you can not see any dead bodies or any signs of a genocide which contrasts what is actually happening in Rwanda. The music adds to the tension because it is a calming peaceful song. however, in the mind of the viewer we know it is too good to be true and too cliche. We know this but nothing can prepare us to the horrors that we see.
