The blue lighting gives off a sort of cold and supernatural feel to it, and the darkness of the photo represents a dark shadow or dark force surrounding him.

Sound. Track 2 (diegetic sound effects) Soft breathing sounds coming from Steven.

Sound. Track 3 (non diegetic sound effects) An eerie but quite high pitched noise, preferably strings being played to create a sinister atmosphere. The music escalates and becomes higher in volume and pitch.
