Wallander (Firewall,7th December 2008,BBC1)

Sound

The music used in this series starts off as the sound of the water/waves moving along swiftly which could relax the audience but then we start to hear the high pitched sound of the wind,the wind is normally associated with danger and a sense of thriller and gloomy-ness. Due to this alone the audience could be able to try and guess the genre which is Thriller. As the clip continues when we here the girls walking we can hear the sound of the grass which can be described as hyperbolic this then makes the audience feel like they are part of the clip.The fact that the radio remained on while the man was dead in the car shows the normality of the situation. The director keeps the radio on for the audience to hear that the network is bad to emphasize the isolation of the location where that happened. Lastly, as the two girls where walking away from the scene we could hear that they were breathing heavily and this might have been due to the adrenaline that was being pumped in their body which shows that they had a a lot of energy to do whatever they did. 

Editing

As the clip begins the audience can see that a  lot of time was spent on the black screen at the beginning, this maybe because the color black represents the dark side, so this may hint to the audience what its about already.The director decides to use a cut and a sting from where the camera is tracking in on the fields then directly to the girls backs and this maybe be done to confuse the audience and maybe make them feel the way the girls feel-confused. 

The use of a motif is seen below between the knife she carries to the titles of the show. 

Cinematography

The first thing someone will notice is that the camera moves from the sea to the land very slowly and this is being done to withhold information from the audience. A long shot is used is when the camera is tracking in on the site of the scene. This shot is used because it makes the characters seem vulnerable and it emphasizes the isolation of the place. 

Pull focus is used on the ID just to give the audience a bit of information about this guy who has been killed and what he actually does, this makes the audience make connections within him and the girls. Shallow focus is then used on the mans key ring which shows us that he is standing with his son is bright colors and they look happy, This changes the way the audience feels about him and they start to sympathize with him and they go against the girls because he looks like a good father.

Two closeups where used on this man. The first one was when we saw his eye and the other was on his hand. This was because the director wanted to show us that the man still had some life in him because he twitched a little bit. This then makes the audience wonder if two girls are stronger than one man why is he still alive? 

Mise-En-Scene

There is a lot we could say about the costume of these girls. The director only shows us the back of their heads first and we can see that the first one is wearing a leather jacket with her held up in a messy way plus red tint in her hair whereas her friend is wearing a black jumper and her hair is help up neatly. This then makes the audience aware of who the leader is. The fact that she has red tint in her hair could show she is a rebel and she dominates against her friend. The girls walk fast but the one with the red in her hair walks up straight and makes he look taller and stronger. The use of foreshadowing is done when we see the blood which is red and the girls hair which is red too.

The lighting used is low key lighting which normally used for thrillers.It adds darkness to the scene to make the audience feel dark as well.

We don't see much of the victims face all we see is the girls faces and this shows us that they are emotionless and they don't care about what they have done this maybe because the guy might have done something to them. To add to that they also look a bit tired and this is done to mock the audience because the director is telling us that they had to struggle to kill the man. 

We can see that it is a remote setting and this makes us wonder why they where here in the first place and where the girls are walking of to. We see them move from the car which makes everyone wonder why they 

are leaving the car because they will need it to go back to where they came from. The fact that we started on the water makes it feel like an island and you can only get there by boat which adds to the isolation
