Reaction shot are used to create tension for example when his about to kill someone.

Motivated cut is used when he gets rid of his armour after the fight to show sympathy as the audience can see he is now vulnerable.

Cross cuts used when someone is being killed this is because it shows a lot of things taking place, it focuses especially on the reloading of the guns.

These techniques effects the way the audience sees each character, such as V as having no mercy however you can sympathise with him as he is

fighting for being able to keep your identity secret. The slowing down of the scenes adds tension and the slowing down of scenes when his killing people shows precision and his power over the

person.
