·       Medium close ups – during conversations

·       Long shots – to show everything within the frame, we will use them during fight scenes

·       Establishing shot – we will use it at the beginning to establish the area (Robert’s house)

·       Point of view – we will use point of view during fight scenes, as Robert is walking to fight Tien and Asif and when Weronika gets kidnapped, this will make the audience as they’re in the characters position.

·       Low angle – to show Robert’s power and that he’s dominant

·       High angle – to show Tien is vulnerable

   Camera movement:

·       Hand held – during fight scenes to make them more realistic

Sound

Diegetic

·       Dialogue – when the characters are talking

Non-diegetic

·       Sound effects – punching and kicking added during editing to make the fight scenes more realistic and powerful

·       Soundtracks – Robert walking out of his house to going to fight Tien and Asif – the music has to be tensed to build up the atmosphere.  Soundtrack for fight scenes, fast typical action music. Soundtrack when Robert is dropping off Weronika home, the music has to be slow and romantic therefore audience get an idea they’re going out. Soundtrack for the kidnap scene to make the scene tensed.
