How sound and Mise En Scene are used to
convey a meaning in the film Hanna
Hanna is a thriller which is evident to the audience immediately in this scene, demonstrated by the use sound and lighting. We assume just down to effects, that the majority of this film, will be in the style and genre of a thriller.
The beginning use of sound initially in this scene is simple, however not silent. It creates a feeling of anticipation- we know something is about to happen. A faint humming sound of a ventilator is all that can be heard (apart from the conversation between Hanna and the agent). The use of this diegetic sound also forms the idea of isolation and a claustrophobic feel. These both add to the attempt of growing suspense, helping the audience to question what are the next moves of Hanna in this scene. All of this sense of anticipation relates us back to the fact that this film is a thriller, and we should feel nervous- which we do! The action begins at the distinct diegetic snapping of the neck- like a trigger we've been awaiting. The non-diegetic music that follows has a techno, electric feel to it, as if the action is happening within a video game- the fast beat links together with the fast pace of the scene. This excitement built in the scene all helps in the audience's support and likeability towards Hanna as we want her to succeed.
