The Teenage Assassin (2)

In this long shot, the scared girl can be seen lifeless underneath the chair the assassin was holding in the previous frame. The assassin can be seen leaning over the corpse, connoting that she is more powerful than the girl. Also, a majority of the bottom third of the frame is taken up by the girl, which further emphasises that she is dead, as the ground in most outdoor pictures takes up the bottom third of the screen, and people are buried in the ground.

In this medium shot, the centre of the frame is filled with the silhouette of a boy, with the assassin's smaller figure behind him. The fact that she is pictured as smaller than the character indicates that she feels like less than she used to.
In this over-the-shoulder shot we can see the assassin's face which is emotionless, similar to a robot, suggesting that she feels like a robot with only one job, to kill. This is the first over the shoulder shot in which we can see the assassins face, indicating that she wants to be seen.
In this over-the-shoulder shot we see a corpse in the centre of the frame, with the assassin looking down on him. The corpse is pictured from a high angle, which makes him seem smaller. The assassin seems bigger than the corpse because she is in the foreground, which shows that she feels bigger when she's killed somebody.
In this extreme close-up, the assassin's face can be seen in the frame, with her eye taking up a majority. The fact that she shows her eye indicates that the audience should look deeper into the story to find more. Her face seems remorseful and solemn, which shows the audience that she does feel emotion, but the only emotion she feels is regret.
