It really emphasises the hopelessness of the situation. Pretty soon, there won't be anyone left."īy the end of that audio from the reporter, the last of the red lights go out, leaving the world as a dark, lifeless planet. The final reporter gives the scary and grim message "those who aren't killed by the virus, will probably die in a fighting. Once the virus stops spreading, the red dots begin to turn off, representing the overwhelming death humanity is experiencing. With the use of the audio and footage makes is horrifyingly realistic (they even use footage of Obama). We hear people screaming, babies crying, and reporters giving increasingly grim news. Its truly disturbing as we see the gradual loss of control humanity has and it's increasing desperation. This allows us to essentially experience the spread of the disease with the humans in the movie. This is used in conjunction with news and media footage that the people would've seen as the virus spread. With the red dots symbolising an infected person, we can clearly see the spread of the virus across the planet (like plague inc). It starts with a visual representation of the virus' across the globe. The humans who don't die by the virus die in riots (sound familiar?). If you can't remember, this scene shows humanity trying to fight, but ultimately failing to stop a global virus.
And it does this in an incredibly effective and haunting way by showing us the news and media footage of the events as they happen. Since Dawn takes place 10 years after Rise, this scene sort of acts to fill in the blanks of what happens, especially since the first one ended on such a cliffhanger.
