SHOT 1
This is a MCU of a white male around thirty years of age.The MCU is close enough to see the expressions on his face and his position, yet far enough to see the wooden planks he is lying on. The character is lying on the floor with one hand pressed against the side of his face, and the other, holding a gun which is pointing slightly to the left of the camera. His eyes are following the angle of the camera making it onbvious that there is another person behind the camera. He's wearing a tie and black suit: giving him a professional, business man look. Yet the lighting turns the shot into something more primitive and horror like. Half of his body is in shadow, hiding the mysterious, unknown side of the character. The low angle shot, aswell as the character lying on the floor makes him seem somewhat vulnerable and desperate. THe gun pointing to the left of the camera creates enigma as the audience are left unknowing who the gun is pointing at.
SHOT 2
In this shot, the acmera moves further away to a high angle, over the head shot, revealing a second character and more of the mise-en-scene. The lighting creates and eerie atmosstphere as the unknown second character is stil in darkness, pointing a gun to the character from the previous shot. The audience grow a further understanding of what's happening in the shot from the position of the characters. The second character is towering over the victim making himself look more dominant and under control. The mise-en-scene further dramatizes the horror theme of the shot as the character on the floor is trapped on a pier by water from three sides, in a, what looks like, deserted place creating a chlaustrophobic feel.
SHOT 3
This shot is a different angle of the shot before, making the audience see what is happening from a different perspective and become aware of the surroundings. Unlike the previous shot, this shot makes the distance between the two characters clear. The low key lighting aswell as the nightlights in the background creates an eerie atmosphere. In this shot, a third charater is revealed. A young girl with long hair sits on the side of the shot, unnoticed, looking in shock. The crouching position of the girl emphasises her vulnerability. As she bows her head down, the audience feel her timidity and helpless ness as she tries to block out what is happening in her surroundings.
SHOT 4
The shot then zooms out further, into an extreme long shot to reveal a third adult watching what is happening. The second character is now in the centre of the frame gaining more importance in the shot. As a new character is introduced in every shot, the story becomes more confusing. It is unclear whether or not the the previous characters know they are being watched. A white male wearing a long black coat has been introducted to the shot, standing the tallest he seems to be the most significant, dominant character in the shot. The low key lighting still gives the shot different interpretations, though at this point it is clear there is a person in charge, who looks as if he is controlling another man to shoot his victim.
SHOT 5
This shot is MCU of the young girl sitting on the side of the pier from the previous shot. The unfocused background, focuses all attention on the charactes expression. The low key lighting in this shot works very well, as it leaves a spark in the girl's eyes making her look more innocent. The expression on her face dramatizes all the shot making the audience empathise with her emotions. Her long straight cut makes her seem to be an innocent young girl who has nothing to do with what's happening around her. Again, this shot creates enigma as the audience are left wanting to know what the girl is looking at as she loses control of her emotions.

SHOT 6The final image is a VLS, including all three men. In this final image, the first character is now lying on the group implying that he is shot. His opponent towers over him taking one last look. The latest character is in the centre of the frame with the buildings in line either side of him, making him look the strongest and in control. The foreground shows this shot is taken in the same place as the previous shots, but in a different angle. Finally, the low key lighting makes the shot look eerie as you still can not make out the face of the latest character-leaving the audience un familiar with him. The cliff hanging ending creates enigma as the audience urge to know who this character is.
