Narrative: The opening sequence shows some unknown character planning or investigating something. We see a pair of hands cutting newspaper articles, books, and writing into a journal.
Camera angles: The camera is wisely placed, so we can only see the hands of the mysterious person. This creates a sense of curiosity, and the audience wants to know more about what is happening, and why? The extreme close up's used hides a lot of the location and general setting, which again adds to the mystery.
Sound: The backing track contains sound effects such as screeching, animal noises, and a heartbeat. The volume gets louder, and the beat increases in pace; this automatically causes the audience to start feeling more panicked and tense.
Colour: The colour palette used was quite dark; with lots of dull grey, black, brown and reds. This made an otherwise normal scene (of someone scrapbooking), look quite scary and intense.
