Opening Sequence

• Graphic match/match cut of circle to eye being made

Shopping Centre Sequence

• Montage and fragmentation – when picking the clothes which makes it seem as though Laura knows what clothes she wants already
• Montage of others – the camera shows the aliens view of the world and learns from others. Also emphasises how Laura is alone contrasting to the others who are with other people

Middle Sequence

• Parallel action of Laura, the man and the motorcyclist
• Cross fade/super imposed image alien to/and Laura where Laura is looking in a different direction to the alien suggesting she has a changed/new path in life/she has changed her morals/shift in identity etc or maybe she’s looking inside herself or it shows that she is becoming human/she feels she’s becoming humane
• Editing pace is slowed down during the mirror scene
• Long duration shot – the mirror

Ending Sequence

• long duration shot of the snow
• super imposed – tree sleeping image
• Slow editing/low cutting rate when running away which is unusual for a tense scene but it doesn’t need to tell the audience to feel tense as it’s already scary enough
