Thriller....




Cinematography:
- Opening panning shot, establishes the setting and follows the character on screen.
- Close up of victims face showing that she has been gagged, making the audience question what has happened to her.
- Mid-shot of the business woman shows her facial expressions, she looks bored as if she is just doing her day to day routine and just wants to get home from work. She is completely unaware of what is happening to her friend.
- The close up of the phone is to inform us that the business woman has had a missed call from her friend, this shot develops the story because so far there has been no speech to explain anything.
- The close up of the victims face is clearer this time which draws you into the story
- There is a long shot showing the whole of the victims body, we discover that she has been kidnapped and tied up unable to escape. The quality of the shot is fuzzy and dark which makes you realise that something bad and mysterious is happening and being kept secret.

Editing:
- There is a quick fade at the opening to establish the setting
- There are random black and white, out of focus, jumping shots in between the ordinary shots of the business woman. These random shots are intended to look like CCTV footage and are very effective at gripping the audience's attention.

Mise - En - Scene:
- Lighting and Colour: The shots of the business woman are in natural light, the colours are very ordinary and dull to show that there's not much excitement in her life and every day routine. There is a complete contrast in lighting and colour when the camera is on the victim, it is very dark with a torch light on her face creating a creepy atmosphere. This shows the story is focussed on her.
- Costume: The business woman is dressed in a black and white suit which you straight away link to an office job. The victim is wearing ordinary, every day clothing of jeans, boots and a purple top which shows she was going about her every day life when she was kidnapped unaware.

Sound: The music starts off quite boring but becomes more exciting when the beat comes in. The footsteps are visceral sounds as they are really loud and creaky.
