The first shot of the scene consists of a low angle shot, with basic necessities within a room such as lights. The mise en scene has a woman in a combat suit kneeling down to get a sword we as an audience can foreshadow that danger is to come. In addition to this the next scene unravels itself by introducing another character from a medium shot at a low angle to show she is superior and for us to look up to her, the camera tilts up to see her face and we feel tempted to see who she is as we want to see the danger to come. She to holds a sword to show that these two could have a action pact scene. There is silence between the two to create tension between the audience and for us to also think of the next scene. However the 1st women is shown in a high angle shot to show she is inferior with a cut so we immediately think she is inferior to the women as she is shown in a low angle shot. The sounds in the background can connate escape between the two or rather a ‘race’ (fight). The scene of which she stabs the dagger within the wood shows her power and strength, and by shooting this a medium shot we can she her full power and strength she has put into sword. The close up of the two shows their mixed emotions and we feel tense and we can foreshadow that the Chinese women is superior as she contains a great deal of confidence. The conversation between the two makes us think that an action scene is about to come “you didn’t think it would be that easy” we can tell that this person would have to reach vertical limits into reaching her aim within this scene (digetic sound). The editing with this builds the tension for the action scene to come.
The next scene shows the break through of several different characters and the quick transactions, automatically makes us think that this women is in grave danger. All shots are taken at a low angle to show that these fighters are not among the best however the quick transaction makes us think that these characters will cause controversy. All shots are a long shot to show their men within the scene and due to them shouting we can tell they are all looking for a fight. Also the mise en scene is that all opponents are wearing the same clothing so they are all together and all want the same ‘price’. The editing from the running scene to the faces and them all surrounding the person shows they all are very egger to get to this person and want her to be frightful and surrender.
The scene where it turns blue consists of low lighting to show negative emotions as if there is no hope; however the editing consists from a medium shot to long shots to show all the scenes and the medium shot shows where she kills her foe. The sounds are swords hitting of each other and we get excited about this and screams of pain as our protagonist kills off the other victims around her. The digetic sound also brings tension as we want to see it all in a close up but the director has only made us more anxious.
