MISE-EN-SCENE AND CAMERA • Dark lighting adds to the message

of mystery surrounding the characters. Conforms to the magicians desire of the audience's vision to be focused on one specific area as opposed to actually seeing the full picture. Camera angle is mostly obscure and blocked by either the sides of the car of from an off-centre point, usually a long two shot or a medium two shot at a canted angle, further controlling the audience’s view.

Lighting also used to make their message of creating a spectacle, a reality. This along with the highly energetic non-diegetic music means that the energy and excitement within the audience is intended to be high.

characters creates suspense for the audience as they are about to be in trouble, This conforms to the typical genre conventions of a thriller. Change in music from energetic to suspenseful and simplistic acts as a way to keep introduce confusion into the audience as to how the plot is going to be uncovered from here.
