Hurt Locker opening two minutes analysis


The first two minutes of The Hurt Locker starts with a panicked street of civilians with U.S troops rushing to the location and setting up a perimeter then it shows an EOD team operating an explosive ordinance robot and looking underneath a pile of industrial sacks which are concealing a 500lb bomb which then they send the robot with a trailer full of explosives. 

In the opening two minutes you can also see that the population is a lot poorer and less developed than people in the UK because of the clothes their wearing which are old, worn and tatty and the technology they use because they use older mobile phones and other devices.

You can tell in the opening two minutes that they are in a war zone because of the presence of soldiers and military equipment and the way that people are running from the scene.


To capture this shot they use close up shot to capture the individual soldiers expression and medium shots to capture weapon use and their actions and long shots to capture the EOD leader approaching the IED.
