Narrative
The narrative is linear for most of the film, as it follows one man throughout - Det Spooner. However, towards the end, it splits off so that we see different people we have met throughout the film dealing with the robot rebellion - the police chief, the Grandma, and the young teenager/angry mob - a complex narrative.
Mise En Scene
First impression of Chicago is that it is in the future - lots and lots of skyscrapers, furturistic appearance created by various neon light, advanced, streamlined transportation. Cars are well developed and built. Robots walking around like humans, also robot services such as cleaning and delivery shows that furturistic technology is at a very advanced stage. Everthing is sterile, silver and clean.
Sound
UFO sounds.
Post robot society music shows the connection to life as we know it today.
Common american accents used - no advancment in their literature that is obvious.
Camerawork
Various close up at points of interest.
Lots of close ups of Det Spooner.
Worm eye shot when he leaps from the scaffolding when pursueing the robot.
Over shoulder shots through conversation he has.
Bird eye shots from points of interest above him that he looks at - motion scanners in the professors house.
