1.Settings and props- The setting is a chamber in the Pale Man's tomb. On the table the props are all sorts of different foods and sweets. Also paintings of the Pale Man devouring children, decorate the ceilings. Another prop that further enhances the eerie ambiance is the children's shoes in the corner. The food on the table seems to remind me of something sinister, like the Witches House in Hansel and Gretel.
2.Direction Lighting is used on behind Ophelia when she puts the key in the lock to show its importance, in the film. Fill Lighting is used to emphasize the food on the table to show, Opelia's eagerness for food. Front Lighting is used on the Pale Man when he confronts Ophelia, to draw out his lack of features.
3.Ophelia's costume being light blue seems to contrast the dark background, and the eerie ambiance of the scene. The Pale Man's make-up makes him appear incredibly disturbing and sinister, by having eyes for hands.
4.Diegetic Sound is used for the key turning, Ophelia's footsteps, the Pan Man's bone-cracking movements, as well as the sound of fairy wings flapping. Non-Diegetic sounds are used in the reptilian sound the Pale Man makes, when eating the fairies, and the suspensful music at the end of the scene.
5.Long Shots are used for when Ophelia enters the Chamber, as well as, when the Pale Man walks behind her; in both instances this technique is used to build suspense. A Tracking Shot is used the Pale Man when he is chasing Opelia. Close ups are used when Ophelia is putting the key into the lock and on her reaction to seeing the Pale Man eat two of her fairies. There's a Low-Angle shot right when Ophelia first realizes, that the Pale Man's alive, this is used to inspire fear in the viewer, and it attempts to add a sense of realism to the scene.
