Set in a forest of snow, we see a young girl hunting a reindeer. Because she is the only character in the first few minutes, we automatically assume that she is a main character. There is a fight scene between the girl and a man, this gives us an idea of their relationship.
The audience begins to ask questions such as; why are they in this particular setting away from society? What is the relationship between the two characters? And why is she training?
Use of Sound
There was no music during the opening, pushes us to focus more on the characters and also highlights the bleakness of the snow and setting.
Use of Cinematography
At the beginning lots of blocking is used to show how well hidden the girl is, maybe showing that she also is part of her environment. During the fight scene, there are many low angle shots on the man showing he has authority. After this scene, the camera zooms out on an aerial shot of the girl lying on the ground with the dead reindeer showing how similar they are.
Use of Editing
There isn't any parallel editing which singles the girl by herself. Editting creates illusions of the girl dissapearing, this exaggerates her stelthiness.
