What stands out is how Furiosa is stylistically different from Fury Road. While the earlier film was one of the best modern examples of the montage-oriented film, Furiosa shines through its Mise-en-scène approach.

It means that Fury Road is a film built out of the editing – multiple shots producing meaning –, whereas its prequel gives higher emphasis to longer takes and the possibilities of exploring cinematic space.

First, I'll compare Road to Osa to make their visual differences clear, then you’ll learn how George Miller uses his camera, sets and actors to craft one sophisticated shot after the other.
