The opening shot was a long shot of a landscape of tree’s and a very foggy atmosphere. This gave the audience a feel of depression and upset. The tree’s had not got many leaves on them and the floor was covered with brown dead leaves which showed the audience that it was autumn.
The camera then slowly started to move to a hill where there were two ropes going down. From around the corner you see a girl running towards the hill ( this is a long shot of the girl). As soon as the girl comes into the shot the first title comes into the shot as well which is the name of the girl (Jodie Frost).
The girls grabs onto the rope and uses it to help her climb up the hill. At the point the camera is still and the girls is moving slowly towards the camera which is making it a long shot to midshot to close up for when the girl gets to the top of the hill.
The camera goes into a midshot of the girl showing her face and a jumper which she is wearing that has “FBI” written on it.
The camera continues to follow the girl as she is running and then the camera moves to a close up of the womens feet and followers her feet as she is running.
The sounds in this part of the film are diegetic as you can hear the rustling of trees and the sound of her running through the forest. This makes the feel of the movie more intense.
The camera then goes back into a midshot of the girl running through the forest. This creates a sort of enigma code of making the audience ask “why is she running”
While she is running other names of other actors come onto the screen this time more than one at a time.
A long shot is shown of her running towards a netting which looks to be part of an obstacle course and then it moves to a midshot of her climbing the netting. The girl gets over the top and is hanging on; this is where the camera freezes and then she flips of the net and continues to run down a path a logs.
As she is running man shouts out “Sterling” twice before running onto the set. This again creates another enigma for the audience as it makes the audience think “who is this man”. He tells her that Crawford wants to see her in his office which then raises the question of whom Crawford is and why he wants to see her.
She starts to run back and the camera focuses on a tree with signs that are nailed on it which say ‘Hurt’, ‘Agony’, ‘Pain’, ‘Love It’. Then the camera moves back to her as she is running back into where she first came from where there are two groups of people in FBI jumpers also going for a run.
This gives the audience a little idea about what her job is and why she was running around doing an assault course in the forest near her office.
As she walks into the building she is greeted by many people who walk past and then she is asked “are you looking for Crawford”. She is told that he will be there soon and that she should wait in his office.
While she is in Crawford’s office the camera pans the room which is a total tip and then shows that she has seen something which is very interesting. We notice a board with photographs and newspapers cuttings pinned to it. The camera then cuts to a close up of her face as we see her eyes reading the board.
The camera then moves back to the board and focuses on a newspaper article which said “BILL SKINS FIFTH” with the victims picture below it.
Crawford appears as a blur in the background and says Sterling’s name. Crawford comes into the frame and we can clearly see who Crawford is. The camera then follows him towards his rest and focuses on him at the end of the shot.
