The establishing shots are 3 close ups, firstly on the tap, then the knife, then writing on the mirror. We used a close up here instead of a pan across the room to show the audience these aspects were important. We used close us so they had to focus on the items and not misread the importance by looking at something else. Then its cut to the flashback. In the flashback we used 180 degree rule, shot reverse shot, and mid shots. We used 180 degree rule so it was obvious to the audience the characters were having a conversation and mid shots were used to get the other characters, who stood behind, into the frame. The characters were all centered in the middle. 
As the protagonist was walking down the street we used a tracking long shot as the camera was following her, We used jump cutting here as it creates tension and cuts down the time on a potentially time consuming shot. The angle was also at a dutch angle to signify that something is wrong. We used a mid shot of the protagonist getting her key out but then to see it had already been opened. Looking back, we could have used a close up here to emphasis the fact the door is already opened. There was a mid shot of the protagonist walking into the house. We used this as we wanted the setting of the house to be in the background giving more exposition to the audience of the house and setting used. This then follows onto a point of view shot as the protagonist walks up the stairs, this was used to also build tension and links into Halloween as the point of view shot is also used in the introduction to Halloween.
There is then a mid shot of the protagonist walking into the bathroom to be able to fit the setting and character into the frame. The camera the pans around the bathroom to show the audience this is the bathroom they first 3 clips are from.
There is another mid shot as the protagonist and antagonist walk down the corridor, again jump cutting is used to add tension. Then when the protagonist is on the floor, there is a birds eye view shot of her to show her vulnerability. The camera then tracks her as she is being dragged back to the bathroom. A high shot is then used over the antagonists shoulder to be able to see the action. Then as the antagonist leaves the room the camera tracks him.
We added a slow mo effect, transitions and fades to create a sense that some of the footage was supposed to be previous to the rest of the film or flashbacks. This is an inter-textual reference to the ring. We also used inter- cutting as it is used in The Warriors and this creates a sense of fast pace movement.

We composed the sound for our film on garage band which is an application from the Mac computers. We decided it would be a better idea than using copy right free music as it then fits more with the narrative of the film.
