17 secs

The low angle of the camera gives my character power over Caitie

32 secs

The close up of Caitie clearly expresses her deep emotion at this troubling moment.

39 secs

Low key lighting creates are eerie and unsettling atmosphere.

41 secs

The high angle connotes Caitie is weak and vulnerable

44 secs

Restricted narration is used here to force the viewer to imagine more violence than what they see on screen. It’s reminiscent of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre with the scene of Kurt’s body being cut up off screen.

56 secs

Handheld camera adds to the sense of realism

1.02 min

Flickering lights and low key lighting unsettle the viewer more and contrast with the bright “high key” lighting before this scene.

1.05 min

Caitie’s make-up adds to the eerie feel.

1.08 min

Editing skills are important here, and also shows evidence of shot-reverse-shot.

1.12 min

The shot shows Caitie’s desire for revenge but also links to her desire to regain her child, who was stolen by Joe earlier in the narrative.

1.15 min

The low key lighting here is especially indicative of death.
