- Continuing with the interview scene two things are happening at once, except now the focus is on Libby. there is a montage section where the interviewer fights to grab the paper off Libby, ( montage, another Hitchcock technique) In this scene I also used the action reaction technique of Libby looking worriedly down at the paper, the interviewer reading it and Nicole and the interviewer reacting to the information that is shared on the paper. I also wanted to create lighting in the way that Hitchcock does, to tell a story. The lighting is shadowy on Libby and bright on Nicole visually telling audiences that Nicole is innocent without dialogue.
- The next scene uses more action and reaction shots and the same bright lighting on Nicole and more shadowy lighting on Libby. I also used blocking to convey a story which is another often overlooked Hitchcock technique. In this scene Nicole falls to her knees and Libby tells her to do another signing indicating that she has the power in the scene over Nicole and is about to manipulate her.
- I used more action and reaction shots in the Langford theatre to represent that Nicole is feeling very guilty for letting a fan go off on her own knowing that there is a killer on the loose. I also created great suspense in this scene as the audience knows there is a killer on the loose and the fan is just in the bathroom waiting to be killed. There is so much suspense and the scene is slow so you don't know when the killer will strike. As Hitchcock says "There is no terror in a bang, only the anticipation of it." The fan holds her phone up to the mirror and see's the killer standing right behind her which shocks both her and the audience. I also used a series of montage shots in the death scene as montage is what Hitchcock usually uses to handle conflict. I also wanted to put a green hue, as I wanted the colour green to be a motif for envy.
- In the doctor scene I used more acton and reaction to finish the film up and shadowy lighting over Nicole now as she is haunted by the expense she has just had.
