The film starts off with a sound of a bang, followed by a phone ringing, along with the title credit, which pulsates red. This shocks the user, and grabs their attention for the movie. A scream can be heard, which unnerves the audience before the film has begun. The scene is set in a modern domestic house, with white as the main colour which has connotations of innocence, which is juxtaposing to the dark outside, where danger lurks unseen in the shadows, the man on the phone for example. The TV is on standby, mainly to remove any background noise so the audience can hear all of the conversation and to increase tension when there is a silence. The use of popcorn is also used for tension, as the diegetic sounds of the pan whistling and popping adds a feeling of franticness to when the woman was running around scared, this makes the audience feel like they’re in the scene in that moment of panic with the quick cuts in editing and sounds.
