The switching between the older black and white clip of the new Singaporean Housing complex – which showcased the building – and the switching to the modern-day look of the complex, which looked old and run down, created an eerie feeling surrounding old ideas that were once considered revolutionary, becoming outdated and irrelevant to modern day problems. To strengthen this feeling, the director used contrasting sounds. During the old video, the non-diegetic sound consisted of orchestral music which created a sense of accomplishment surrounding the housing complex. In contrast, the modern-day footage consisted of diegetic of cars and other city noises to show that the housing complex, which was once considered to be the prime of Singaporean Landscapes, is now just a mere background in the evergrowing city.
