The film begins with a pan of a house, which leaves the audience curious.'Blue Moon Cinema' then appears on the screen, this makes the film look more professional.

It then shows a male character opening the front door of the house, and then cuts from a close up of the character to a clip of a doll and then back to him. This fast editing helps to make the production look high quality and shows that they have used a range of editing. Title continue to appear whilst there are different shots of the character collecting his newspaper whilst he walks round to his garage. Throughout these shots the fast cuts to the shot of dolls continue to play. This is good because it helps to create tension, which is typical of a Thriller movie. As there is a close up of his hand opening the door the cuts to the doll begin to happen more frequently, this again shows a good variety of editing. The film uses a wide variety of shots and angles, for example: Close up, extreme close up, pan, over the shoulder shot and long shots.

Here is an example of a close up shot within the production:
