Holding a shot steady – Upper Level 4: They held a shot steady when they did an over the shoulder shot with the girl washing the dishes.

Framing a shot – Upper Level 4: A clear example of this is when the camera tilts looking through the window looking at the girl washing the dishes. This is a high angle on the girl.

Variety of shot distances – Upper Level 4: There is a good variety of shot distances, I like the use of extreme close ups on the girls face and  the extreme long shots

Appropriate to task – Upper Level 4: It creates a sense of mystery and has a tense atmosphere the man walking around the house shows this, it also uses low key lighting at points so this makes it a thriller as most of the things you expect to see in a thriller are there.

Mise-En-Scene Selection – Upper Level 4: There was good costumes and a clear contrast between the man in black and the girl wearing normal everyday clothes. Lighting is also very good, a clear example of this is the candle lit staircase.

Editing for meaning – Upper Level 4: All of the editing makes sense, A good example of a good edit is when the girl is washing the dishes then the shots cut between the bloody hands and the hands washing.

Shot transactions – Upper Level 4: There are some very good transitions, A good transition is a quick fade from the boy looking at the girl through the window to the girl pulling on her hair.

Sound with images – Upper Level 4: A good sound with image is when the handle is trying to be opened this works very well, another good example of this is when the blood drips from the tap, this is also a match on action.

Using titles – Upper level 4: They used good titles and added them in in correct pages, they did not nook out of place and they fitted into the sequence very well. I like the titles most when they fit into the door at the beginning.
