Resolution
In the ending scene of 28 Days Later we first see a montage of the characters trying to save the man's life from the beginning of the film. After this, 28 more days pass and the man wakes up in a peaceful cottage. The roar of a jet engine can be heard overhead, the characters race to position a large piece of cloth in the shape of an 'O', changing the already written world 'HELL' to 'HELLO' suggesting resolution is a major theme at the end of this film and hope has now been restored to the characters because of the positive connotations of the word hello. This suggests they will survive at the end of this film and therefore gives resolution to the audience, and a sense of hope for the future. Hopefulness at the end of post apocalyptic films is common as we as viewers like to believe there is a chance for us if this day ever comes.
Shots
When positioning the cloth, it deliberately doesn't cut to the word 'Hell' or 'Hello' until the plane is overhead to create suspense and mystery for the audience. When the plane is overhead, a crane shot is used to present the word, and possibly to give the POV of the helicopter.
