1. The title of the film: is show to the audience in white letters with a dark black background so it stands out to the viewer and is noticed quickly by the audience. It come onto the screen as if it came out of no-where so it sets a scary mood to the beggining of the film and it grips the viewer in to the film.


2. Setting/location: this starts off in a dark, quiet and cold place where from the darkness a light bolb appears to the viewer and you can tell it is old fashend. The character of the women them comes in and she get very close too the camera as if she is looking into it, but she's not really. This makes the audience feel as if they are being watched or looked at so it set's a good mood to start the film off with. It also goes with the dark places she is in as if someone is watching her like a ghost, and she stop's and shivers before she runs back up the stairs. This really makes the viewer feel as if there is some think bad going to happen.


3. Costumes/location: The costumes of the actors are dressed up, so you know they have been on a night out together and this sets the location in the home of the two actors.


4. Camera work/editing: The editing of the film gives the audience a mood at the start of the film as if they are being watched and then as she stops and then runs up the stairs you feel a bit scared and creepy. This keep your eyes on the screen at all time so it really gives a good effect to the film, therefore you know it is a thriller. Also the way she looks at the wine is very good because it is a close up of her face and the action of what is happening in the film. This also helped set the mood of the thriller.


5. Title font/style: this was in BOLD letters so it stood out and seem creepy. It appeared from a black groung so it help the setting to the mood of the film. The way the word where in time with the music was effective too.


6. Story- show how the opening sets it up. This is done by the two actors sitting in there home having a glass of wine and chilling out before they go to bed together. As she enters the front room the music stops as if she is safe with him and the film is really going to start. The opening sets the story in a scary mood, the use of music lets this happen and it is also letting the viewer know it is a thriller film and that alot of bad things are going to happen. Also how the film starts in darkness sets the scene as she picks out the wine and this is want get the audience griped to there seats.


7. Gender- show how the opening suggests it. The use of music really sets the mood of the thriller fim because it is slow and sharp and it makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and you start to ask question on the film.


8. How characters are introduced. The characters are introduced by the woman actor first because she is who I see first, then as she goes up stairs your questions start to get answered stright away. They are in a realiationship together, they live together and (Bruce Willis) the character of the man is a childrens doctor. This is want you know about the charters in the opening sequence to the film.


9. Special shots/effects: when you see how cold it is in that room the breath of air, and this plays quites a bit role to the film. The close up of her face as she gets wine and the close up of her feet as she runs up the stairs. Also the way that the camera pans the room so you get an idear of the settin/location, this shows the cars and candels to the male actor so it help the audience put the story together and ask question. This is what a thriller film should do, and that is why it is so effective.
