Opening to Hanna - Kieran

Starts with a long shot of the setting a snow covered landscape that is panning slowly to show wildlife there is no diegetic or non-diegetic sound in the beginning to give the impression that nothing is there.




A medium panning shot of the protagonist is shown this makes you ask who it is. What are they doing? Why are they there? A long shot of a moose is shown this has a flat cut as the transition then a panning shot of the protagonist is shown this has a focus pull to show that they are looking at the moose. What are they going to do?


A close up of the protagonist face is shown then fast paced cuts to show that what is happening. A blurred shot Is shown from the point of view of the moose this is used to show that it is dying




The final shot in the sequence is a close up of the protagonist face this has a high colour saturation on it to show that there is a lot of light in the background. It ends with the titles with a loud folly effect to emphasis what is being shown.

  1. match screen-grabs to the text, otherwise it makes no sense.

    There is a very clever use of editing where we see the hunter, track past a tree, only to discover that they have disappeared. Look a t then again.

    The very clever shpt of the reflection of the protagonist in the eye of the moose.

    Little more detail kieron.
