Mise-en-Scene
The scene starts off by panning over the dark woods, which looks foggy and dull, showing in the horizon, the sun peering over the mountains. This shows that its a very mysterious place to live, as on one side its nice, bright and sunny, and on the other its dark dull and forbidden looking.
It then goes onto show a woman knelt down looking into the river, with a bow and arrow strapped to her back, she looks weak, scared and teary eyed, and jumps at the slightest things, this shows that she hasn't had a good past or, something has happened to make her by aware of her surroundings. This represents a thriller as it makes the audience want to know whats happened to her and why she acts like she does, and why she is sat where she is.
Soon after a man appears, and the proxemics of how they are stood is far away, like they can't trust each other as they don't know each other too well or that they have some hidden secret which makes them uncomfortable around each other. As she has a dead animal in her hands it shows that she forages for her own food, and kills so she can eat, this shows that its a thriller as its creating a cliff-hanger, right at the beginning, leaving the audience wondering why she has to do that.
She then goes on to aim at some turkeys to kill them, for her food, but unfortunately for her, she ends up shooting the man, which leaves her shook up, as it is in a woods it creates more fo an atmosphere and makes it more dark and frightening to the audience. As they are both wearing dark clothing with boots, it also creates the effect of them trying to blend in with the woods as the aren't meant to be seen.
