This shot from "Hancock" gave us the idea that our character should appear to be worthless and so the audience would empathise with the character more as he finds out he has got his 12 weeks left because we see he is nothing and so the job to make his life worth something because of it will be harder.

This shot is from the finale of "Sharpe's Eagle" and while this is a relatively easy shot to make and incorporate into our film it also summarised our film clip quite well, the purpose is to make the audience want to watch the film and see what happens to Ryan and whether he succeeds before he dies.
