Scenes from the disappearance of Alice Creed

At the start of the first scene of the film the camera moves forward through a car park, and whilst moving through the camera shows the back of the cars that it is moving past. This sets the scene and makes it clear to the audience that the setting for the first scene is a car park. the camera then comes to a van which is being broken into by a man, whilst another man stands at the front of the van looking left and right. We get an extreme close up of the man at the front of the van which shows the audience his clothes and his facial expression. The mise-en-scene of his clothes illustrates to the audience that he is a criminal, we know this because bomber jackets are used a lot in crime films. Also his facial expression shows seriousness and no other emotion like he is on a mission.

This Girl Can

The new advert 'This Girl Can' shows how women can be very independent as oppose to the stereotypical view that they always need a mans help. Scenes such a mixed race girl boxing promotes women doing more sport and bring equality into sport. Also there are many cultures, ethnicities and ages used in the video which shows the audience that any girl no after what religion or skin colour they have can do it. The song 'get your freak on' by missy Elliot goes well with the video as it shows a determined side to the women. The editors have used diegetic and non diegetic sound in order to create an effect where the music stops and all you can hear is the women breathing and panting for a couple of seconds then the music comes back on. This emphasizes the hard work that the women are putting in.

The lighting that they use is high key because to mke the atmosphere look positive, if the lighting was low key then the vibe that the advert gives off would not be as intense or upbeat. It needs to be upbeat as it is a motivational video to try and get more women to do sports instead of there being more men doing sports.
