Through the eye
From the very beginning of the clip there was music used as a stimulus to build tension due to the fact that it sets the pace that you, as the audience follow. This allows you to know when to feel scared or uncomfortable at certain times of the clip.
In this picture they used clip angles and viewpoints to distort the audiences view of the film but to also stop you from being able to see the man watching the cctv footage on the televisions however you are still able to see his legs and him walking around the room, which makes you feel alone but also scared that he watches others and this reflects negatively on him, as he may be being the suspicious looking character. This also enabled you to know where to look, as a viewer of the clip which means that you know you will almost be in the middle of the crime.
In this picture there is also an idea of a 'video within a video' which allows you to feel appart of the viewing and more involved in the story, so you feel like a victim as well.
The lighting was dreary and dark, which made you immediately scared of the situation as you not only couldn't see much but it also follows the theme of any thriller as we all know a crime is more likely committed in the dark then in the light. The music gradually slowed down at 1. 48s making the mood more eery before the crime so you almost knew it was going to happen before it did, making the tension towards this scene build up. There was no dialogue in this clip so this made you even more aware of the music and the affect it was having on the situation and the mood you were feeling.
In 1.55 seconds into the clip we see the 'crime' scene happen and we are seeing what the man watching the screens is not seeing and because he is not doing his job we feel uncomfortable and unprotected, as we know there is no heroic figure in the film.
