the first technique that i noticed was the tree at the start when it becomes animated, this could represent the the cycle of life. The close up of the hands being separated at the start could suggest separation like the separation between life and death.
The bright white light that the hospital trolley is being pushed into, could suggest the end of one life and the transformation to heaven.
With regards to the dying flowers, this could represent death.
All these techniques help the audience to understand what the programme is going to be about without going into to much detail.
