The opening shot into the scene starts with a long shot of Danny riding his bike down the corridor and then he turns off the screen, this gives a sense of the watcher not knowing where he's gone and where the next scene will be. It then cuts to the camera tracking Danny as he rides his bike through the corridors of the hotel, this is because it makes you feel like you are him and you don't know what could be round the next corner, this is better than cutting every time he goes round the corner because that would be boring and wouldn't have the same scary effect and wouldn't create tension as Danny goes around the corner. As he turns around the last corner in the background of the scene, at the end of the corridor, it shows two girls standing still. This is done because it catches the watcher off guard as normally it would use a jump scare whereas this it adds the girls in naturally and the tracking of the boy stops. This is done because it wants to create suspense as you don't know whats going to happen next as we haven't seen these girls before. It then does a close up on Danny's face, this is done to show his emotion and how shocked and scared he is. It then cuts back to show the girls in the background and everything is still. It does this as a shot reverse shot because it increases the tension as you don't know whats coming next and so when it cuts to the same scene that has happened already it increases suspense as the none diagetic music is staying the same loudness and makes you feel even more scared for what comes next it also adds a lot of loud symbol noises to scare you. It then cuts to a shot of the two girls dead with blood all around them with an axe nearby. This is done as a sort of jumps scare, it also makes you as the audience feel like the place isn't safe as you thought before. Throughout this scene the music is a slow steady and is used to scare you and make you feel uneasy, when danny turns the corner and see's the girls a loud symbol noise is used as a mini jump scare.
This clip starts off with Jack creeping out the shadows towards Wendy. He is shown as a black silhouette as it makes him look mysterious and makes you think he's going to do something. Wendy is in the background clenching her bat, this is to enforce to the audience that she doesn't feel safe and that she needs to defend herself. Its set in low key lighting, this is a big part of mise en scene as if the scene was set in a bright sunny lighting then the scene wouldn't be as dramatic and tense. It then cuts to a mid shot of Wendy crying, this is used to show the amount of fear in her face as she knows something bad could happen. It then does a tracking shot on Jack and he stops in front of the window that light is shining through. This is done because it gives Jack a dark and mysterious look and gives connotations of someone evil, this makes you think that Jack is about to do something to Wendy. It then cuts to a tracking shot reverse shot between Jack and Wendy because Jack is hunting Wendy. This gives the effect of Wendy being hunted an stalked by Jack and that something bad is going to happen. As Wendy is walking upstairs being tracked by Jack its in a over the shoulder shot and Jack is still show i shadow making him seem mysterious. Its set in low key lighting but outside the window is high key lighting, this could show fear and that Wendy wants to get outside to the light but she's stuck inside the dark with Jack. The back lighting also creates shadow on jacks face creating a mysterious effect to him, this to me makes me feel more scared and wary that something is about to happen and Jack might be the cause of it.
