Research #1 – Hanna

In my opinion Hanna is not a good film, at least I don’t really like it, but there is a scene impressed me in the film that I use it as an example in my research.

The main actor Eric Bana says “I like to be able to do the fight from start to finish without stopping so that on the day you’re covered if the director wants to shoot it in any particular way. What makes it different when they do decide to do it in one shot is it’s just more pressure because you realize there’s no way for any mistakes or for anything to be picked up or fixed… It becomes more like a sport. The cameraman, the focus puller, the guy dragging the cables, everyone has to be absolutely perfect on one take. So it does become more like a live performance and there is more adrenaline on a day like that. It’s good fun.”

It could be seen that it is a very difficult to make a fight scene with a long take. In this scene, when in the subway, we could see that the camera is rotating around Erik (Eric Bana), I think it can create a very intense atmosphere to show there are more enemies coming around Erik in the fight scene. So that the camerawork would be a key point to get the fight scene success or looking good in a fight or action scene.
