The Disappearance of Alice Creed

The first shot seen in the film is an establishing shot, which is the most common shot for the beginning of films as it establishing the setting of the scene. The mise en scene of the cars shows that it is a car park and the non diegetic sound of aeroplanes means that is it an airport car park. The leading lines of the cars draws the audience into the shot and the low key, natural lighting gives the scene an dark feel and would make the audience feel uncomfortable. 
At 15 minutes 30 seconds there is a close up shot of Gemma Arterton's face, this shows the emotion on her face, this type of shot lets the audience know how a character is feeling, and in this case allows them to feel sympathy for her because she is crying. The mise en scene shows that she has been kidnapped because she has a belt in her mouth to prevent her from talking and she is handcuffed to a bed, this shows that she has no power in the situation. The clothes she is wearing suggest that she isn't from a wealthy background and she doesn't have a lot of skin on show which suggests that she isn't supposed to be seen as a sex object.
