Mise en Scene
At the beginning of the clip we are placed abroad in a forest where many jeep's are on patrol to a certain place, we are the positioned at a funeral, the funeral of all the men killed in the first film. All of the families are surrounding the coffins and the one father is standing in front of everybody else this shows us that he is the leader and he is in charge. This reinforces male patriarchy as he is the dominant figure at this point. The father soon begins to have flash backs of Liam Neeson killing his loved ones and he wants to seek revenge! We also know that behind the dark side of his work Liam Neeson is also a loving family man, we notice this as he is faced to face with his wife talking about their daughter and her boyfriend. As we know Liam Neeson's wife and daughter are taken hostage and are kidnapped by the revenge seeking fathers, Liam Neeson kills each one of them until he gets his family back, Liam Neeson is the dominant figure throughout the film and he is the main character, his family rely on him and this reinforces the idea of men being protective and aggressive.

Camera Movement
There is an establishing shot at the very beginning of the film to show the audience where the first scene is located. We are firstly located in New York city where Liam Neeson is cleaning his car we are then suddenly taken to the location of the funeral, this shows the audience the different position they are in. There are close ups on to Liam Neeson's face as he talks with his wife this is to show his facial expression and his emotion behind the conversation. Just before the funeral there is a tracking shot of the jeep driving through the forest this is to make the audience feel a part of the action occurring on screen.

Editing
There are fast cuts during the beginning of the film there are also jump cuts and straight cuts used to show the change of scene and to show the pace of the action that is taking place on screen. the fast cuts are there to show the pace of the action happening, the jump cuts are to shorten any pauses involved and to really give the audience the realisation of the characters story or situation.

Sound
At the beginning of the film there is a distant and mysterious soundtrack being played behind the jeep driving away, as the jeep comes to a holt the pace of the soundtrack picks up this gives the audience a sense of tension and interest into what is going to happen. At the start of the funeral we hear the sound of birds this is to show peace of what is happening, the mothers begin to cry and this sound is diegetic as the characters on screen can hear this also, this shows the sadness and distraught they are going through.
