By Enilze Veizaga

SoundAt the beginning you can be able to hear a metallic sound of the chains.In the middle of the scene the teenage girl starts tapping her fingers, which suggests that shes bored or waiting for someone.You can also hear the radio but because they are in the middle of nowhere, theres not signal in the car.CameraAt the beginning of the film theres an extreme close-up of the chains.A close-up of the gas station sign suggesting something that they are close to a gas station.Low angle car.Theres a close up of the teenage girl.Theres an extreme close up of a trunk but theres also a view point of the car. This suggest that someone is watching them from the woods.Long shot of a person walking towards the car but you cannot see who I is, as its blurry.Dead Mary

ConventionsMiddle of nowhere/woods

Out of fuel

No signal

Someone watching

Theres a teenage girl and boy

They get separated

Mise-en-sceneGirl- Shorts, revealing clothes, daily make-up, no shoes (meaning that she has been waiting for a while).

Guy- he is wearing jeans and a shirt, he also had his glasses on.

Low pitch sound (evil, sinister)

After she says pull me up there is a noise of the guy falling down/getting hit.

The music gets faster when the girl is pulled up by someone.

Then it goes louder when she sees the dead body suggesting that she is in trouble.

SoundThe first shot is high angle, stablishing shot of the woods. Showing that the scene is going to take place in the woods.
