- Low key lighting
- Tracking shot
- Point of view shots
- Close up shots
- Reaction shot
- Four shot mix up
- Extreme closes up- makes the audience feel that a new plot is building up this creating anxiety.
- The camera behind the characters gives off the impression that they are being watched by somebody else.
- Body language: still, shacking-scared
- Non- diegetic music: sounds sharp and intense which builds up as the nurses approach the ‘door’ making the scene's 'door' look as if what ever is behind it is important.
- Non-diegetic music melody then changes into fast paced.
- Non-diegetic sound of a rattle snake which implies danger is to come
- Parallel sounds of movement
- Voice over
- Straight cuts
- Slow editing
- Fast editing
- Kuslov effect
- Location, mental house, forest flash back, and roof top
- Props knifes, computers, and tablets
- Normal event contrasted as it builds up tension of what is next is to come
- Flash backs- Greyscale, main character looks different implying that the flash back was a couple of years ago.
- Costume – police uniform, nurse uniform, hospital patient outfit, and villian mask
- Narrative- Villian wishes for revenge
