  • A lot of shadows , giving feeling of being followed 
  • Tension music
  • Frequent changes in the angle of shots 
  • Protagonist is in mercy of the antagonist
  • Main character introduced at start and is happy/ content with life
  • Past comes back to haunt main character 
  • Music used to add suspense and tension but at start, music is calm and 'cheerful'
  • Music starts off giving  happy tone then to dramatic and tension
