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.
