The genre is reinforced through symbolic and technical codes by showing aspects of what the movie may consist of as part of the genre such as cells of organisms, and possible mutants. Through these it is foreshadowed that laboratories will play a major role as the setting of the film, a common setting in this genre of film.

The technology in the outset has been used very effectively. Regardless of the slight animation of the opening scene, there were high, low, and dutch angles that helped show the different variables that tie into the main motion picture. The transitions were smooth and editing techniques were also used very effectively, from the use of fade in/outs and wipes that jumped from one part of the amniotic sack to another as it flowed around the inside of it.
