Camerawork
- Restricted narration; villain's face is cropped from the shot, spectators question his identity (main question throughout the film)
- Tracking shot coming down the stairs; POV?
- Wide frame, establishes setting, main focus to the left (naturalistic)
 |
| Villain's identity hidden by restricted narration, standing over inferior character |
- Suggests status between the mystery figure and the man on the floor; low angle shot for villain (high status), high angle shot for man sitting on the floor (low status)
Mise en scene
- Villain's long dark coat; iconographic to the genre, creating mystery and adding to the enigma
- Low key lighting adding mystery and enigma
- Man's facial expression shows apathy, establishes character
- Sweaty and dirty, possible fight
Sound
- Non-diegetic music is very ominous and runs parallel to the action taking place
- Fire crackling/roaring, possible Foley to emphasize sound
- Little dialogue between the characters which suggests tension
- Music gets slower after man is shot, conveying sadness (parallel)
- Builds up to a crescendo, new action is taking place
Editing
- Main transition; cut, demonstrates the 180 degree rule, match-on-action, shot/reverse shot and a sound bridge of dialogue between the characters
- Adds to enigma; why do they know each other, why is he shot
- Off-screen sound of gunshot, cuts to outside the boat (showing setting), secret location, cuts to different areas show echo (disadvantage to villain?)
- Other transition; dissolve, showing change in location and time
 |
| First shot; slow zoom on ropes |
 |
| Slow dissolve from ropes to interrogation |
 |
| Long shot of interrogation |
