- 2. The use of the extreme close up on the book at the very start gives the film the feeling of innocents and no relation to the genre of the film. The use of the lighting on the book, gives the book an old (tea stained) and well used look which adds effect and makes the audience think about what the book might be about. The use of the white text against the darkness of the book makes it stand out and eye catching for the audience.
- 3. The use of the childish writing suggests that a child or children are involved in the film which is a common convention of thriller/mysterious themes. This is because children are used to scare people as they should be innocent. It also shows vulnerability of them or that the child itself is in danger of something e.g. death/ murder. The way the light fades from light to dark adds depth and emphasis to the shading on the hands. The use of the 2 by 2 squares on which the hands are emphasises the size and how big the hands really are.
- 4. This drawing is weird. The way the character has drawn this image is very realistic because the teeth and mouth look as if they are real The lighting in this frame makes the image look more tonal and more realistic adding to the creepiness of the scene. This image is very similar To the one above.
- 5. The colours used in this frame give the instant feeling and look of blood or something has become blood stained. The way the camera has focused on the black mark closer to the camera, shows that the director wants to hide the identity of the person behind but add an element of suspicion to the image.

This image makes the audience think of many different questions involving the theme and story line of the film.
- 6. The use of the finger running along the text in the frame conveys the idea that the person has cut his finger and is highlighting the text with his blood which adds the feeling that some sort act with take place in the film related in someway to blood.
