Camera shots

There is an establishing shot which sets the scene and shows on where they are showing that they are on a sky scraper so this gets a good shot of where they are. And then they use a focus shot on whoever is speaking and then they bluer out the background. They also use jump shots so that they can jump from person to person, also they use a jump shot when they are on the balcony then all of a sudden they are in her flat/apartment. When they are in the apartment side shots of them when they are speaking this make the background stand out so you look at what she owns in her apartment and get a feeling for what sort of person she is.

Sound

At the start of the scene you can hear all of the traffic in the background this makes you realise that they are on a sky scraper in a busy area/city so there is a lot of traffic noise. When she shows him the picture of the black whole eerie music which adds to the weird way that she explains it, you get this thought that she is not wright in the head.

Editing

There was editing used when they jumped from outside on the balcony to inside her apartment so this will have been edited together this give the audience a feeling that something is going to happen as it speeds up what is happening so they don’t haft to watch there every mood this allows them not to get bored and stay concentrated on the program.

Mise-en-scene

There is a relationship between the actors as they all know each other. There is also a telescope on here balcony and she also has a picture of a black hole so this indicates she likes looking at the night sky. He is dressed up really smart which gets over the opinion he is a detective of some sort and is trying to solve a mystery.
