The turning point in her adolescence is a sharp one; sent into the world by her father on a mission, Hanna journeys stealthily across Europe while eluding agents dispatched after her by a ruthless intelligence operative with secrets of her own (Ms. Blanchett).

CHARACTERS

Hanna Heller

Erik Heller

Marissa Wiegler

CAMERA SHOTS

As shown in the beginning of the trailer, Hanna Heller was captured in which she asks to speak to Marissa Wiegler. The real Marissa Wiegler was unaware of who this girl is and what she is capable off. Therefore Marissa sent in someone else acting as herself to simply get some information from this girl. Here we have two/over the shoulder shot of Hanna Heller & the fake 'Marissa Wiegler' showing conversation between both & also emotion. This camera shot appears that the two have some sort of connection however we soon see that it was nothing but an act from Hanna.

In this fight scene with Erik Heller, we are firstly introduced to a low camera angle of him entering the scene, already this suggest that he in some way he is superior. As he enters, there is a continuous panning shot. Not only does this build tension however gives the audience an view of his surroundings, it sets the scene. 

As he walks down, the non diegetic music played builds tension, when the fights starts, the continuous panning, non diegetic & diegetic sounds work together giving a nice feel to the fast paced editing throughout.

OPENING SCENE

As you can see, in the opening scene the only information given to us is Film Company, Producer & name of the film 'Hanna'.

This opening scene is very effective as already audience are drawn into the film, they are able to suddenly see that this is no normal little girl & get a hint of her lifestyle.
