Camera
- The first shot is an incredibly wide shot (Extreme Long Shot), creating an unrestricted narration. This is very unusual for a Thriller as it allows you to see all what is happening around the main character. (Even if there is no lighting).
- The second shot is a Mid Shot. This is used to create a feeling that the female character is being watched through the door, which indeed is very 'Thriller like'.
Mise En Scene
- In the first image you cannot really perceive exactly where the setting is as for the low lighting, therefore she could be anywhere. Adding suspense right at the beginning of the movie.
- Very low lighting. There is a rather bright key light which is directly shone on the main character and her alone. This is used to emphasise her importance.
- Her costume is very unique as it shows that she is some type of dancer, maybe a ballet dancer. This helps the audience to understand who exactly she may be.
- In the second image it is clear that it is set in a public environment, along with other people. This adds to the feeling of the character being watched.
Editing
- The first few scenes are very long, lasting up to around twenty seconds. Whilst going at a mid-pace. This could be to show importance.
- In the second screen grab, slightly further on in the beginning of the movie, the scenes are a lot shorter, and the pace picks up. This is used to show that the character who is watching the female is very alert and to show that she is watching her.
Sound
- The movie starts with music right from the beginning, with the Swan Lake theme tune, giving that the film is based on this.
- In the second screen shot, there is very noticeable music, this music is quite mysterious and slow paced, this is used to build up suspense and to create and atmosphere.
- There is definitely use of Non Diegetic sound, being the noise of the train moving. It is louder than it would be on the actual set. This is to create the setting.
