MISE EN SCENE

- the setting was very dark and solid, it was all metal and square. it seemed like some kind of engineering, factory or mechanical place.
- the lighting was dark and and did not change throughout the film
- the costuming was very plain and made him seem very vulnerable
- the props werevery minimal
- the acting style was timid like the man was unsure about being there and was afraid of what he would find and where

CINEMATOGRAPHY

- the focus is mainly on the man the whole timebut as he walks slowly into a new area the camera goes to where he is as though we are looking through his eyes

- the perspective changes from looking at him (face on and behind him) and looking through his eyes and ants veiw

- the camera positions were at eye level for majority of the film. close ups and some medium shots
