· establishing MS of woman at a station · Shot from in front of the woman starts as a long depth of field to show the station name on the wall then focus is pulled to a shallow depth of field to show the look of fear and worry on the womans face
·CU and tight framing of a hand put out towards the camera as a POV shot restricting our view of the person’s identity until the camera tilts up
Mise en scene
· Lighting- cold lighting used throughout the whole sequence making it feel eerie and dull
· With the cold, blue colour lighting the yellow train stands out even more in the ELS of the station
· Interior and exterior settings, station inside, visitation room, outside at a bench, outside on a street
· Costume- upper class clothing worn by all characters in the opening, man in visitation room is wearing a suit showing he’s professional and at work. Man in the station is wearing a long black coat to show he’s upper class by clothing and he is also wearing black leather gloves and carries an umbrella.
Editing
· speed of the train going past then cut to the title bit could indicate its a fast action film, could also show where they are and ‘set the scene’- a station.
· Woman stands in visitation room and stands there then hears a voice (in her head) which triggers a flashback creating an unsettling mood, flash of white on the screen then bought back into the room with the woman.

Sound
· speech in the beginning of the opening isn’t in English, there’s translated subtitles, still not a lot of speech just questions with simple answers.
· non diegetic sound- piano and violin/cello sounds used to create mood and atmosphere
· Diegetic sounds- train doors opening, birds squawking, footsteps
Too much description - always complete the circle and explain why you thiink these decisions have been made - what is the intention of the director? What is he/she trying to communicate to the audience
