- Non-diegetic soundtrack - low pitch, brass instruments, build tension before seeing anything - audience don't know what to expect
- Gun shots (sound effects) - loud over soundtrack (contrast of loud and quiet)
- Synchronised sound and patterns - uneasy feel - fast paced, unpredictable tone
Editing -
- Graphic match of the eye to the credits images - optical illusion - confusion for audience - almost hypnotic
- Black background for credits - the unknown
- Fade one shot into the next - confusion
- Depth of field - foreground in focus, background blurred - links to fear of the unknown (can see whats close, don't know what's surrounding that)
Mise-en-scene -
- Dark lighting - unsure what's coming next, keeps a lot hidden from the audience
- Red lighting - connotes danger
Camera movement -
- Close up of mouth then eyes - builds suspense as the audience can't see anything else except what the character is seeing
- Final shot - ignores rule of thirds to put audience at unease
