Over

Over uses a very interesting reverse narrative structure, as well as having lengthy shots that give us very little information about what we are watching. The effect of this is that we are led to make out own assumptions and decisions about what we think is going to have happened. As such, everything that comes into frame, we begin to assume that it is related to the death that we eventually learn about. For example, when we see that there were muddied up shoes in the evidence, we then assume that the death could somehow be related to the boy we just before saw playing football with his dad. 

Another aspect of this film that is very interesting is the fact that we get the perspective of the British suburban population, as oppose to the point of view of the Angolan character that has fallen from the plane. The simple answer is that the audience of the film is supposed to be the British suburban population – it is a more understandable story for us to see the aftermath from an outside POV as oppose an immigrant to the hiding in the landing gear of the plane. It has a more profound and shocking effect for us when we see the story this way.
