Very nice use of perspective and colour. Immediately the image appears extremely foreboding, ignoring the floating objects for a second; the greys and drab colours really convey an almost apocalyptic sense of doom.
I feel like the potency of these dark shades is very grungey; the road almost appears like a smear of darkness just dragged across the ragged landscape.
The low-profile of the scene also conveys the barren, desolate atmosphere of the situation - it's as if all life has deserted this area and all that's left is dirty snow and a scrappy vehicle long broken down, long deserted.
Yet, the fact that the audience's perspective is centred on the road conveys the impression that they are perhaps driving through the scene; this deep sense of engagement is very dynamic and really brings out the atmosphere in a much more confronting manner, directly placing the audience inside the scene.
An atmosphere of loneliness is added to the desolation, again the dreary, low-lit colours really imposing the heavy mood on the audience.
This effect is heightened so much by the sky; the way the clouds seem to be resting so low creates the sense of a heavy, foreboding burden, as if literally the sky is falling down on the responder, which, needless to say, is extremely ominous and highly powerful in terms of reinforcing the already apocalyptic atmosphere.
The way the distant grey and extremely thick fog just swallows the entire scene is also extremely powerful, and creates a sense of void and mystery, shrouded in the vague mist - this is supported so much by the use of perspective.
Seen in the ground and in the clouds, it's as if the entire scene seems to be heading to and emanating from one vanishing point, yet that point is hidden deep in the vague fog.
The attention of the responder is being directed to something that isn't visible, creating that suspense.
The mysterious, foreboding nature of the landscape is heightened by this lack of knowledge and it appears that anything could just pounce out of that mist; what could be in there? What's up ahead? All these questions arise from the uncertainty of the scene and the audience is left in a fearful, ominous suspense.
The desolate, forsaken, gloomy landscape, heavy with the burden of darkness around the audience implies that whatever is shrouded in that thick fog must be worse than what's out here. In fact, it must have caused all this desolation.
Yet, of course, with the appearance of the floating UFO-like objects, the scene is taken to an entirely new extent - the way the objects seem to float out of the mist conveys that really foreboding atmosphere, as mentioned before, of impending doom.
Because the audience has no idea what's in the mist yet so much attention is attracted to it from the perspective, having these two strange forms float out implies that there is more to come, that what's hidden in the distance is even more foreboding and alien.
These spaceships are like the landscape; implications to what could be shrouded in the thick mist, as mentioned before.
Such an implication is so powerful, and as the spaceships tower over the audience, blocking out the light and appearing extremely potent, we are left in this afraid suspense of what else is awaiting us in this barren, apocalyptic, ominous landscape shrouded in darkness.
Simply stunning use of perspective, colour and blur to really convey the atmosphere. I love the dreary desolation of the ground, the ominous heaviness of the sky and the foreboding nature of the unknown objects.
All of these marvellous elements combine to create an extremely sophisticated scene; I feel like the slight tilt of the ground really touches it all up in a very apocalyptic manner.
Again, wonderful use of atmosphere, very engaging.
Awesome work!

"Hello, I come in peace."
The OVNIs are very well included in the scene, the lightning is perfect!
