Opening Sequence

• Extreme long shot of alien when picking up the ant
• high key and high contrast (ant etc)
• Extreme close up of the ant is jarring
• Close up of Laura holding the ant
• high key white background makes dark figure (cold/empty/emotionless)
• extreme low key to high key is jarring, it challenges the viewer. It makes you unsettled at question what you’re watching. It also separates the viewer from the film in the same way that Laura is separated from society.

Shopping Centre Sequence

• Over the shoulder, high angle shot with Laura in the centre – places her above the others which makes her seem superior and predator like, it could also be how she sees herself. The people in the background aren’t as relevant – like a herd

Middle Sequence

• face close up in the fog – high key low contrast – lost herself
• close up during the cross fade of Laura
• Light shines on the mirror – back lit and low key. You see her silhouette and obscured face then she steps closer to the mirror and her face lights up – moving into the light/finding herself/change in identity/analysing herself/comparing herself to the man
• Point of view shot of the fly on the window

Ending Sequence

• long shot of her hiding makes her appear small and vulnerable, and like we are spying
• Camera tilts up to the sky – heaven/death/a better place
