Camerawork:The disappearance of Alice Creed


At the beginning of clip, Alice is mainly on the left side of the camera, and this weighting of the shot is used to focus the viewer on Alice.  A close up shot is used which again focusses your eyes on her and makes you feel more for her.  Then in the next shot, the over the shoulder angle is used, when the camera shows the man, so this allows Alice to still remain in the shot, making the scene feel more intimate.  Then when there is a tense scene, the depth of field of the shot switches between Alice's face and the gun, which creates suspense as these are the main things in the shot at this moment.  The frames in this scene are closed, which make each movement much more noticeable and makes the fast movements easier to watch.  When alice is about to hit the kidnapper, a tilt axis movement is used, which raises the suspense as you're waiting to see his face and as soon as the camera reaches his face, she hits him.
