SpaceShip V4

1) The start of the film see's the rocket spinning round and round with its eye's moving from side to side. This highlights how dizzy it has become. This could have been further highlighted by making the rocket wobble.

2) We know the rocket has a decision to make, the uncertainty and confusion of the choice being compunded by its dizzyness, lurching from side to side and bending forward as it tries to focuss on the 2 buttons. The indecision could have been further highlighted by moving the arm from one button to another as it tries to make up its mind which one to press.

3) Adding further hesitation to the scene where the choice of which button to press, is being made, may help to highten the tension.

4) The spaceship could have been made to look as if it was shying away / cringing in anticipation of what might be about to happen

5) As the button is about to be pressed anticipation is built into the scene by closing one eye with the other one being nearly closed.

6) Showing sweat dripping from the face of the spaceship and the arm shaking as it makes the decision as to which button to press would have enhanced the emotion of the scene which has built up in anticipation of what may be about to happen.

7) After the button is pressed nothing happens immediately, so an indication could be given of the initial relief prior to the sudden build up of pressure and an explosive take off which is emphasised by the cartoon like enlarged eyes. Further emphasis could be added by getting the eyes to pop out.
