  • Julie wearing dark colour clothes green and brown- Nature friendliness.
  • Julie's baggy clothes reflects a working class nature.
  • Low-key lighting reflects the creepiness of the situation.
  • The yellow hue lighting gives connotations of a sickly feel.
  • Victors red jumper give connotations of evil.
  • Dark hair and pale face intertextuality to horror films.
  • The setting of council flats give connotations of a rough un safe area.
  • Long shot of Victor out the window gives an uneasy atmosphere.
