In this unit, we will think not only about how the content of Black Mirror invites us to think critically about our complex - and increasingly dependent - relationship with techology... we will also think about how the form of theĀ anthology series does this. We will also use the series to explore the nature of a text's relationship to time and space, and the way in which it uses different references to other text types (intertextuality) to make us rethink our own orientation in time and space .
Look at the soft focus, the retro-future neon lighting and the ghostly, slow-motion movements in this scene...
...it's very evocative of this opening scene from The Lost Boys.
