§ Opening sequence established the location by showing a
zoomed out shot of the town.
§ Lots of stairs and mirrors in the set as well as many
blind and unknown corners.
§ Clever use of the camera to give shots as if the viewer
was the security cameras. – masking
§ Good use of sound and lighting together to make lights
flicker with ‘electric’ sound effects. – gives feeling of suspense and tension
§ Almost the whole movie is played out in a dark, enclosed
atmosphere.
§ Focus of the film is on one thing, the safe which is in
an enclosed room. The mystery is how the robbers intend to gain access.
§ Involves governmental forces, the police.
§ Involves violence, although not a lot, as well as the
use of guns late on in the film.
§ Camera shots that go through the various floors of the
house to give an overall view of the house. – almost like making cross-sections
of the house
§ The characters are wearing dark clothing adding to the
darkness of the house. One of the robbers also has his face covered for most of
the film. These factors add to the mystery therefore creating more tension in
the film.
