The hands leading into a flashback scene:
This point-of-view shot from India's perspective, the camera is off a tripod, creating a shaky cam. This symbolises India's unstable mental condition as she runs for her life. The shot of her hands brushing through the trees is followed by a flashback of her hands being tied up. Close-ups normally engage the audience who can experience at first hand the protagonist's emotions. Here, the close up makes the audience experience how frantic India is when trying to free her bound hands.

News reporter scene:
This scene was filmed by using the rule of thirds, we placed both news reporters onto the two gridlines. Using the rule of thirds carefully allows for the creation of visual interest in more than one part of the frame. This also made the two characters be in one half of the shot each, making the scene aesthetically pleasing. This shot was a midi-shot as we tried to get the scene as professional looking as we could, the miss-en-scene was a road that lead to her house, as this creates a closeness to the character. We took inspiration from the news as many news reporters film in out of studio locations.

Eye close up:
We started with a 1 person shot of India raising her head, as she has just woken up. We did a close-up shot of India's eyes, this created mystery as we are unable to see her whole face. The close up shows the fear of being taken and confusion as to why in her eyes. We see her scan the room as she looks left and right, when she looks it leads to a flashback. India is the first character we see showing how she will be important in the plot line.

India goes out of the door:
This is a midi-shot of India opening the front door and running out of the house, signalising her escape.

Jack chases after India:
We have the same shot as we did for India's escape to show Jack running out of the house, noticing India has escaped and therefore going after her.

Jack going up the stairs:
This is a close up shot of Jack's feet as he walks up the stairs, this leads into a worms eye shot from the top of the stairs. These shots symbolises Jack leaving India, as he goes to a different room in the house.
