Wallander Analysis:

Sound:

Many different sound effects were used to add and create suspense along side the shots. A sting was used because there was a sharp noise which increased in volume quickly which added emphasis to the important moment of when the girl closest to the screen dropped the knife, this was used not to only tell the story but show the audience and make them think which is the significance of the knife what does it symbolise? This leads the audience feeling puzzled and trying to piece together what's happened. Another sound effect used was hyperbolic sound an example of this is when the girls are walking away from the car you can hear there shoes on the gravel but the noise made is a lot louder than it would be if you were there, this is used to attract the audiences attention to the floor which then lets the audience relate to the surroundings of where they are and notify the audience that they are in the middle of nowhere.

Cinematography: 

Many different camera shots and camera movements are used to help the audience aware of what's happening with each scene. One particular camera movement which I noticed was when the camera tracked into the shot of the minicab from the sea, i believe this was used so the audience were aware of the surrounding of the minicab leading them to think many questions for example what was the minicab doing this far out there's nothing there? Another use of cinematography which was noticeable was the over the shoulder shot used I believe this was used so it could suggest to the audience to the tension between the two girls and show hat they weren't talking and who was the more domineering character because the one closer to the camera was further ahead so it looked like the other girl was just trailing a long and she didn't have an opinion or brain of her own, again this left the audience asking many questions.

Editing:

One editing technique which was very noticeable and was very clever because its effect on the audience was successful. The editing technique was called cross cutting it was used throughout the trailer apart from the titles and the very beginning shot, it was when the shots kept on going back and forth from the lifeless minicab driver and the tense young girls. This editing technique was and used and was so successful because it created a relationship between the girls and the minicab driver there was something the had in common and due to the rural surroundings it meant the audience could workout the state of the minicab driver was because of the young girls or they knew something about what happened or they were involved in some way or another.

Mise en scene:

From the way the girls are dressed it shows the audience that they weren't meant to end up were they are now we can tell this because if they planned to end up here they would of been in suitable clothing which there not in now. The girls dress sense reflects on stereotypes of being a punk/rebel trying push and break the boundaries, trying to be different and get way from the norm. The audience know this because she is wearing a leather jacket, has pink/red streaks in her hair and that she has a razor blade around her neck. The most noticeable use of mise en scene the produces used is that she is carrying a dagger in her hand which has blood on and again we the audience can relate her back to the surroundings and that the minicab driver is bleeding and there is no one else around except the other girl. This again leaves the audience making accusations and questions to ask for example did she stab him and how did the situation escalate to that level if she did?
