Semiotic film analysis

The opening shot in this is a tracking shot which follows the movement of a truck. The setting is situated in a rundown area. From what can be connoted from the first shot, you see the road is broken up and blatantly hasn't been maintained also the grass is growing everywhere. This can be denoted to signify the fact that this specific residential area is not looked after and is possibly poverty ridden.
