     - Voice over the movement of the camera to suggest what the characters are seeing.

     - Over shoulder shot suggest

     - Nervous that they have to give over their weapons because they are about to enter a metal home.

     - Makes the audience feel uncomfortable with the shot with the women with no hair and putting her finger up to her months saying ‘shh’ The shot is not exact in the middle to suggest it is irregular just like her character.

     - Her smiling suggest s how mentally disturbed she is.

     - Her hair pulled out suggests how crazy she is. But also we want to know what has happen to her.

     - His shot with Leon was a close up to make the audience eel very uncomfortable and on the edge.

     - The close up of the door handle and alarm shows how claustrophobic it is in the prison.

     - Framing – focusing on those two characters. No background. ‘Teddy’ doesn’t have sympathy for these patients. Just wants to get on with her investigation.

     - FLASHBACK- of war because the doctor says the woman who escaped from the prison. Also, the audience doesn’t know if it’s ‘Teddy’s’ flashbacks and the women’s flashback.

     - Close up on the little piece of paper.

     - The Doctor (boss) seems very suspicious

     - The weather reflects the atmosphere – rainy, dark and gloomy.

     - Clock gives the sense and reminds of time and reality.

     - Island is cut off from the rest of the world (weather)

     -Why are the staff laughing at the marshals since a metal women had escaped

     - The Doctor seems careless and he blends into the dark with his suit and it is just his head that stands out.

     - Music playing and Teddy get another flashback from the war

     - The psychiatrist was hid behind the camera and the camera was moving around to see him instead of him turning around to greet the visitors.

     - He was a solider in the war, flashbacks with the war and the blood on the floor makes the audience uncomfortable again.

     - The same music was playing through the sense where he lets the soldier die right a front of him and the camera looks up on Teddy to show the audience what the dead guy saw and Teddy emotions while that scene.

     - The staff seems not to care.
