Wallander

Camerawork
An establishing shot is used to introduce the setting of the sequence, in this case the shot is from a helicopter flying over the countryside by the coast. This lets the audience know straight away where the opening is being set. Soon after there is a close up of the cab driver, showing his severe injuries. By using a close up it allows the audience get an accurate description of the injured man. This makes you ask the questions, how did he get hurt? Was it the girls? Furthermore, there is a 2 shot of the girls from behind them at the start, not revealing much information from them. Keeping them as a bit of a mystery. However from this we do find out that they are together and most probably close.


Mise-en-scene
The constant use of low key lighting shows that, this this a serious and dark scene which is backed up by the grey clouds and lack of light. While both the girls are in the back of the police car there Is also low key lighting which makes the girls appear more hostile. Moreover, the style and colour of their clothing suggests that they are rebellious, due to the blacks and the red highlights in the older girls hair. She is additionally wearing a razor blade necklace, further showing her rebellious and dangerous side. Finally, the make up of blood used shows the severity of the injuries inflicted upon the cab driver.

Sound
When the two girls are walking away from the car, where they just stabbed the driver repeatedly, you can hear their deep breathing. Indicating that they may regret what they have just done, or perhaps that they are scared to be caught. Additionally, when the older girl drops the knife ,that she used to stab the driver multiple times, a sharp sting is used which makes the audience feel uncomfortable and uneasy, reflecting the situation the girls are in.


Editing
During this sequence from wallander there are fade out and ins used, which could resemble the driver who is seriously injured slowly slipping away. Moreover, the pace is extremely slow due to long takes throughout the sequence. Making the audience watch in anticipation, also creating a tense atmosphere. Furthermore, the use of cross cutting between the injured man and the girls walking away shows that they are clearly connected, leading you to believe that the girls were the ones who gave him them injuries.
