- opening shot of full moon set the tone for the piece - moon relates to mythical creatures of the night 'werewolf', connecting to the very really monster of the night within the piece
- faceless girl runs past the camera, dressed in white - connotating innocence/ victim - also gives of the impression of isolation she is the only light in the darkness, almost as though the night has engulfed her
- red lamp in the background - symbolises danger and evil
- windy - natural forces are against her - her is messy, shows her disorientation and lack of control
- villain is in black - connotating evil - hooded face - adds to mystery and the fear of the unknown- gives the impression he is more dangerous - red glow covers him - he is the danger
- when on the platform you can see her nails are painted red - hinting at danger
- as the train leaves the ghostly gray scale reflection can be scene in the poster next to the girl - highlighting how her only escape is leaving her
- yeloow caution sign in the background - another warning that she is in danger
- isolated by the walls on either side of her - she is trapped within the shot and within the situation she is in
EDITING
- sharp cuts between scene creates a sense of disorientation for the audience - leaving them confused
- camera movements are shaky when following the girl mid run - put the audience as the villain, placing them in an uncomfortable position and builds the tension
- very short frame when the villain is first shown - keeping the identity hidden, keeping the audience guessing
- shot dissolves into the POV shot of the phone - ties the action together - making it clear to the audience that we are still on the side of the girl
- quick cut back to her reaction - highlighting that something is wrong, the audience has noticed it but the character has not
- when the villain comes nearer and near to the girl the cuts become very quick - adding to the danger - giving the impression that he is unnaturally fast
CAMERA ANGLES
- the camera pans from left to right against the direction of the running girl - this gives the impression of speed and that she is running away from something
- the camera is kept at eye level within the close up of the girls frightened/ exhausted face - almost as if to give the audience an insight - they are on the same level as her - whatever she is fearing they should fear too
- high angle used after she has fallen/ tripped over - almost as if the camera is preying on her
- almost a worms eye view is used when showing the mid shot of the villain - the audience now becomes the victim
- again a high angle is used on the close up of the girls reaction after the mysterious man has disappeared - portraying her character as the prey
SOUND
- Minor tones of the non-diegetic music set an eerie tone to the piece - start away placing the thought into the views mind that something is not quiet right
- Diegetic quick paced foot step can be heard heading towards the camera - giving the impression that something is coming for the audience
- Diegetic crack of the twig - suggesting that someone is watching/ following her
- the music (non-diegetic) does not build with the action when the girl is in mid run - this creates an unsettling distance from the production adding a sense of realism
- non-diegectic music changes to a more dramatic tone when the villain is in shot - highlighting that he is a man to be feared
- when the text 'one hour earlier..' is show the diegetic music of a train voice over can be heard - this takes the audiences minds straightaway to the platform edge
- the eerie music that begun at the beginning start to repeat its self when the POV of the phone is shown - linking that something is not right
- Diegetic sound of the train is harsh and loud - almost like a re-awakening for the audience
- the non-diegetic music builds with the quick pace of the moving villain - building the tension for the audience
