Over the shoulder: Deadshot and his daughter talking. 

Shot reverse shot: Deadshot walking to a door, a guard talking to Floyd through the door on the other side, and Floyd talking back on his side. 

Common Mis-En-Scene:

Harley Quinn wearing ripped shirt, stockings, sneakers, red jacket, chocker, leather glove, spike bracelets, Bobby pin ear rings. Deadshot in army gear ( bullet proof vest, boots, gun holsters)

Props: guns, baseball bat, robotic eye piece, samurai sword

Settings: Louisiana (inside cells/prison makeshifts, outside, inside a building 

Common Editing: 
Jumpcut: different parts of the fighting scene being shown

Flashback: Showing what happened to the villains before they were caught

Common Elements: Three big Fights between the villains turned into heroes with guards or people who work for the government, lots of weapons used, fast pace, explosions, and lots of stunts 

Common Sound: 
Digetic: talking, book dropping, grunt 

Non-Digetic: Cell opening with an electric buzz, planes flying high, gun shots, glass breaking, sword slices 

Score: upbeat Spanish music, dark music, ominous music, fast pace fighting music 

Elements I like: The fast pace of the movie and all the fighting being done. It gives pure adrenaline to the viewers and grabs their attention.  The showing of the betrayal is a plot twist viewers wouldn’t expect especially because of who betrayed them. 

Elements I disliked: You can see which characters in the villain/antihero group take charge and it seems like the group was made haphazardly based on what skills r need to achieve the main goal. The characters in the group don’t seem like they work together well. There is little to know emotional connection with majority of characters in this movie
