Our Girl

Camera is hand held because it is shaking point of view want to imagine through the eyes of a soldier.

Steadicam- When the car goes fast past the side streets.

Fast paced editing 4 shots quickly first the 2 passengers, close up of soldier, gunshot and blood on winder screen.

3 fast paced shots again being shot, terrorists, then through the winder screen.

The soldiers slump which shows death.

They wear black clothes to look scary like alchaida, they are the antagonist.

Tension building music, in the background used when the terrorists are walking towards the van, getting louder the closer he gets.

He looking at her dog tags which shows narrative.

Hand- held camera to show she is scared and disorientated because it is shaking and moving round and round and out of focus.

Every little detail is included like checking soldiers opening side doors and this is all to build tension up to when they open the boot and fine her.

The terrorist just shots when he see's Georgie because that is a narrative of them being scary.

Tracking shots across her when being dragged from the ambulance to pick up truck which is out of focus which shows she doesn't know what is happening and she is confused and being ragged about but then it goes to Apu and it is in focus because he is in control.

Point of view shot he is climbing in to the truck and its like your looking through his eyes and she is looking up which shows he is in control.

The music builds up to a crescendo (peak) it levels out and there is tyre screech to show they are in a rush.

Ariel shot- To show distance because she is lost/ being taken away.

Point of view- when looping in the eyes of the terrorists.

Apu is the only one to wear black which shows he is the leader.

Khaki in the background which shows where they are in the world.

Tense music still there when looking in each others eyes.

The pitch of her voice shows desperation now that she is on her own.

No sound apart from her moving so is shows she is isolated/ on her own.

She is being captured by men who are stronger and how she is alone which is a stereotype of women.

In the start the army doll has a broken arm which she fixes so it shows she has always wanted to be an army medic/ doctor.
