Shots and why


Straight on angle to clearly show the newspaper articles and their content to show that Nicole is some sort of famous person (Hitchcock technique)

Panning camera to tell a story visually without the characters explicitly stating what sort of famous person she is. 

Lighting: Just slightly dark lighting, darker themes are being discussed in this scene but nothing to sinister is happening. 

Shot: Close up panning to get the action that occurs in detail


Straight on angle: to show in detail what is going on in this scene

Panning movement to tell a story visually without the aid of dialogue, panning to Libby writing in a notepad while Nicole's character speaks infers that she is some sort of psychologist or therapist (Hitchcock technique)

Lighting: Dark and shadowy to infer that Libby's character is more sinister than she looks

Shot: Close up to show the action that is happening in good amount of detail. 

Costume: Libby's character wears green to represent that she is envious of Nicole's character


Straight on angle: Neither character has the power in this circumstance, Marina has not started killing anyone yet and Adriana has not been victimised because of it so as a result the camera is equal, they are equals. 

Lighting: Dark and shadowy to infer that Libby's character is more sinister than she looks (Hitchcock lighting)
