The film had many different contrasts such as old things like cave man drawings then a rocket taking off, a rocket is more modern and new. I think the creator chose to do this because he wanted to show us how the world has changed over many years and how it will continue to keep changing, also for example he shows the Grand canyon and how its very natural and will always have its history and be appreciated where as in a town there's old buildings that aren't worth anything anymore so there just destroyed and replaced by new buildings.
There was a lot of destruction like buildings falling down as well as other buildings such as a bridge. The city is shown a lot differently during the day than it is as night, Godfrey shows how the day is really rushed and uses rapid music to help present this, the scene is also shown in slow motion I think this was done so we could watch it in more detail and see how the daily routine goes. Night time in the city is presented very calm and peaceful with an over view of the city's sky scrapers and other nice buildings all lighten up.
The background music fits in well with each different scene such as during the day its very fast rapid music in the city and at night its calm slow music and when the rocket takes off its very slow piece full music and there's also a chant going on.
