- Point of View shot of the character looking into the mirror. The closeness of the shot allows us to see that the character looks very ill and defenceless. This tells us that he is the good character.
- Big Close up of the character's face to show how much he's sweating which is due to being sea sick. This shows us that he's very loyal to his job as he's still going to the island even though he's ill
- Establishing shot/ long shot of the island- very shadowy

Mise en Scene-
- Chains hanging down from the ceiling feel threatening.
- The main character is wearing formal clothes which suggest that he is a smart, proud man.
- When we first see the island it is dark and shadowy.
- The police officers on the island are holding huge guns and their facial expressions look sad and cruel. This creates fear as the police are usually people that you can count on to be our your side and protect you
- His body language when he walks onto the deck is uneasy and he seems unstable

Sound-
- There is silence and then a loud scraping noise when we first see the boat which creates suspense- we don't know if the people on the boat are good or bad.
- Dialogue instantly introduces us to the characters. 'You okay boss?' This immediately lets the audience know who's in charge
- Contrapuntal sound as he talks about his dead wife.
- Soundtrack- deep booming music as soon as we see the island, shows that it's threatening. The music gets louder and deeper as they move closer to the island.
Editing-
- The shots are quite long, especially when the boat is drawing into the island. This makes us anxious to see what the next shot is and to view the island in more detail, builds tension.
- The 180 degree rule hasn't been broken
- The only transition used is a plain cut so the action isn't interupted by obvious transitions
good
