- Narration from woman talking about herself and her life, we know this is the main character.
- Then we get introduced to her being a radio presenter.
Thriller Codes and Conventions
- See women, romantic hero, ordinary woman nice, friendly.
- Transformed city, see normal city then is transformed when they enter the tunnel where her and her husband are beaten up.
- Question and answer model, who are these people what are they going to do to them and why.
- Suspense built when the dog goes missing
- See city but looks like were seeing a reflection in water, which causes ripples.
- When man and women enter the tunnel and are calling dog see the dog run somewhere, so they carry on walking.
- See dog with man holding alcohol, looks intimidating then see another man who is filming it on a camera.
- Camera switches to what is being filmed by he man in the film, scarier and more life like - films the man and woman being beaten up.
Mise-en-scene
- Ordinary costumes and lighting until they approach the tunnel then the lighting goes down then the man dies.
- Wind starts - chilling and creepy
- Setting is changed when they go into the dark tunnel.
- See a gang looking a lot different to the other two people, can tell they are not like them, very different, not had the same upbringing.
Sound
- Non-diegetic music whilst titles are on, calm sweet, contrasting with what the film is about
- Suddenly eery music starts when the dog goes missing, gives us the sense that something bad will happen.
- When man and woman are being beaten up dog is barking hysterically - which is chaos
- No music when man and woman are being beaten up, only diegetic sounds, talking and laughing ect.
Graphics
- Titles are small and are in white, fade and ripple, resembling water- calm, controversial for a thriller.
- When warner brothers trademark is on the screen the background is of buildings which ripple like a reflection in the water.
