Hurt Locker
The beginning shot at the start (right) is shown as very distorted as they have made the shot handheld. This might put confusion into the audience's mind as to what is going on. Also, the additional use of high key lighting outside makes the shot even brighter to the audience and therefore, helps the effect of confusion. The shots continue to be hand held throughout the opening two minutes to stress the importance of their panicking
Along with the type of camera shots, diegetic sound of a panicked street starts straight away. The shouting and screaming makes the audience start to feel for the characters and worry about them, this makes them more involved and engaged.
At 1:23 the noise begin to die down as the director nows the audience to feel the tension while they are trying to stop the bomb. The non-diegetic sound of the heart beats are to enhance this and build the atmosphere and then stop to have parts of silence during the scene. Silence can be a very important part as you don't always need sound to create suspense as silence does this, a lot of the time.
