The start when the ship are flying towards the other plant it looks as if the are traveling in slow motion this efficacies that this is the first time they have traveled this far out into space. It shows how ignorant the human rase is and links into the story line. Another example is that when it changes from the back story to the class room the transition is when it takes a pitcher and then it zooms out a little bit and then the pitcher becomes on a screen. This effect allows you to understand where the narrator is. It also reinforces the fact that this is in the future.
Good description of the technique and examples. Now try to add more to the explain section of this answer: how do these techniques show you something about the characters or the ideas behind the film? Are they echoed anywhere in the film as a whole? How do they link to the story line? How does it show how ignorant the human race is? Check my blog for more suggested questions for Merit/ Excellence.
