Tracking shots and panning shots are used to follow April as she walks down the street to give the sense that she is being followed and to show her surroundings. Close ups in the kidnapper's shed will show props like knives and rope to indicate it is their hideout, and close ups of their eyes will keep their identity mysterious. Wide shots and panning shots of the empty park are to create an eerie atmosphere and mood, while close ups could be used to make credits disappear on the roundabout. In the policeman's office, over-the-shoulder shots and close ups will establish his role without revealing his identity, and extreme close ups of his mouth on the phone or eyes will show his reactions.
