The disappearance of Alice Creed - Meg

Camerawork
-tracking shots of the road going up to the men stealing the van.

-tilts of them walking through the shop from a low angle. This could show their power and dominance, and the tilt could show us all of the characters in  more interesting shot. It could also be that you never get the full picture of them in one go, and they're showing you the men slowly.
-quick paced shots are used to show the action flowing (continuity) and make you anticipate. It's also cutting out the unimportant parts, and just showing you snippits of what they're doing.
-Extreme close ups are used to show key props, the saw etc, and so they look more threatening to the viewer from close up.

Mise En Scene
-abandoned flat to show the mystery, you never see the outside so its scary and makes you wonder where you are. Raises questions to the viewer of what they're doing there (even though a hint is in the title)

-Sound proofing the walls, locking the bed down onto the floor, tying rope to the bed, digging a hole, padlocks and plastic bed sheets etc are all adding to the scariness of the sequence. They also help you to build a picture of what is going to happen here.
-The man with the beard makes you feel threatened and worried because he's got a scary look to him.
All these make you wonder about the film and make a link to the title.

Editing
-This sequence cuts out the unimportant bits, and just gives you snippits of the key points to keep you interested and keep the pace up.

-The pace of cuts is fast to keep the viewr engaged and on the edge of their seat. This works well for the genre because you are intreged from just the first couple of minutes.


Sound
-There is no dialogue at all in the sequence and this works really well because you learn from the characters body language. You can also see how in sync they are to each other because they're doing the same thing with only a nod of the head once (when they're buying the bed) The effect of having no dialogue is great because it conceals the mystery of the characters and you don't learn anything about them just yet.

-Parallel music which is eerie and repetitive. It gets more intense when they come through the door of the flat. This music is to add to the threatening feel of the sequence so that you know that it isn't a nice environment to be and they're doing something potentially wrong.
