Hurt Locker

Editing

• The way this clip is editied, causes the biewer to focus on the line 'war is a drug', which emplies what the film is about.

• This post production effect in this clip causes anigma as to what is happening, the image is distorted and ambiguous, which is a classic convention of a thriller as it causes the viewer to ask questions.
• The editing is fast paced and the camera movement is shaky this creates suspense as its hard to figure out what is happening.

Mise en scene

• The mise en scene of this clip is a man being moved to another location, possibly evacuated. This again raises questions as top what is going on, is there danger in him staying where he is? Also the man pushing him away is dressed in an army outfit, showing he has some sort of authority. The guns the men from the army are holding also indicate danger.

• This is a man's eyes, this shot identifies the concern on his face and evokes the same feeling in the viewers. The hat he is wearing helps with the characterisation of him, as it shows he is in the army and creates realism.

Sound

• The use of off screen diegetic sound creates realism and makes the mood dangerous, you can hear cars beeping and a man shouting through some form of broadcasting device. The shouting and screaming gives a sense of enigma as it is not clear why they are worried.
• The sound track is parallel to the images and enhances the danger connotations.
