The Theme of the movie from the scene is that our main characters are running away from the "bad guys" and trying to stay alive long enough to bring them down. This is a very Active Theme because it is clearly shown that we are meant to follow the characters running and not the ones trying to kill them.
The theme is reinforced by the Space, Rhythm, and Movement primarily and has some line and shape in them slightly. The reasons that space is vital is because the space is very deep because they are in a woods and the sight of the trees in the background cause the scene to look very deep. The Rhythm of the scene is very sporadic because of the intense slow motion compared to the average running of the scene which is clearly a use of tension and release because the tension is built up during the slow motion parts and is released as the group runs again at normal speed. To further explain this it would be like holding a string taught while the scene is moving at a normal pace and when the slow motion parts of the scene happen the string is pushed together to give some slack which gives our eyes a break from following a very taught string or rhythm. Movement is also a key part of the scene because the group is in constant motion because they are running away from a hail of gunfire and explosions. The shape and line of the video cause together some contrast and affinity because most of the trees are very straight up and down while the group keeps stumbling forward to stay in motion. All of these together convey the theme because they are very jagged shots and cause a great deal of tension because the group is running for their lives which causes us to align with the group as they run.
