A Realistic Thriller

The short film series “Chernobyl” depicts the tragic events of a nuclear power plant and its effects. What I found most interesting was the use of film effects to add to the eeriness of the episode. Specifically, darker and dim colors in addition to quite music made the events of the nuclear catastrophe even more terrifying. Additionally, since I knew the aftermath and long-standing effects of the situation, watching the response of the scientists and government officials made the episode especially hard to watch due to their lack of urgency and dismissal towards the severity of the situation.

  1. Nice observations! I agree, the music really transcended my overall experience. It definitely kept me on the edge of my seat a lot of the time. The tension between many of the scientists and government officials was also really well portrayed.
