Hanna

In the first scene of this action film it fades in then pans to establish the setting. This also shows the vast emptiness of the surrounding area. It uses edit cuts to show other places within the setting to give the viewer an idea of where this setting actually is. It then cuts to a panning movement across a woodland area. In this we get to see Hanna standing between two trees hunting the animal. We see that Hanna is in focus but the tree closest to the camera is out of focus to give us a sense of distance. This also shows that Hanna is the main focal point in this scene.
We then hear the enhanced diegetic sound of the arrow being shot at the animal. When the animal begins to run I can feel it's fear as it runs for it's life. Especially when we see the pint of view shot from the animal as it is running. Through this we also hear the non diegetic sounds of Hanna and the Animal running through the snow.
This then cuts to the animal slowing down and staggering to the ground. When I see the animals legs shaking and its cry's of pain and fear it makes me feel very upset. I feel sorry for this animal and almost feel it's pain. We get another point of view shot from the animal looking up to Hanna when she is about to shoot it in the heart. This shows Hanna as powerful and dominant. The predator.

This view of power towards Hanna soon changes. The camera zooms towards Hanna so the audience does not see that her father is behind her. During the fight between Hanna and her father it is a constant close up shot of the two. This makes me feel like I am almost involved in this, trapped in the fight. Hanna's father slams her to the ground, just as she did to the animal. We see a low angle shot of her father. The view of power has now shifted.

At the end of this sequence while Hanna is lying on the floor the camera then zooms upwards to show Hanna lying next to the animal she has just killed. Hannah is left helpless and defeated, just like the animal.
