The first six shots all illustrate a boy running. As of yet the audience does no know who he is or why he is running. Nevertheless we are intrigued into his motivation by these fast paced shots which use a variety of distances between subject and camera. The titling is also applied appropriately. It uses quite a general font which avoids playing to stereotypes of the “thriller” genre which can sometimes make it look tacky. The font size is quite small but the makers of the film have placed it appropriately into the corners of each shot so it sits on a background without too much contrast in it making it visible. The mise en scene of the flashback scenes is very effective. Firstly it is filmed in a high contrast greyscale helping the audience differentiate between the past and present. The props used in the flashback of the police interview are simply a table and chairs for the characters and a tape recorder placed on the table. The background is in shadows. These props are sufficient for the audience to recognise what is being illustrated but not too much that it distracts from the action.
