Camera Shots
- Low angle point of view shots used to show superiority of woman over man in bed
- Close ups to capture emotions of characters, especially at tense moments
- Long shots to show the isolation of the house in the area
Point of view from the perspective of the man to make audience feel as if they are the ones being interrogated by the woman
Lighting
- Bright, high key lighting at the beginning of the sequence to show how the film starts in a non-sinister way, Dark, low key lighting towards end of the sequence to show how the situation of the man turns for the worse and the woman becomes more sinister and dangerous
Continuity Editing
- Early links between shots are slow fades, to show how the film starts off in a calm way. Towards the end of the sequence there is a series of sharp cuts, to build climax and create sense of tension
