The opening title shot i think was filmed in much more of a horror style, the font is red and black which is very much a convention of horror films the words are over a very dingy wall with a green filter but this is once again more of a thriller setting a place with dingy walls
We then cut to a man in a bathroom standing over a dead body whilst holding a knife this makes it more of a thriller as they have not made it a really gory murder they just show that he has killed the other guy. The soundtrack for this part is very fitting with the piece and uses the same conventions as many thriller film soundtracks.
The next few seconds consist of him washing his face and then there is about half a second of footage that is flashed in I managed to pause the film and screenshot what is in this half a second it is the murderer about to stab his victim, this is a very good technique as it makes the audience question what they have seen however I think the film could have done with a few more of these as unless i paused it i could not tell what i picture was.
He then continues to search around the toilets and begin to get rid of any evidence, at this point he kicks a knife away and drags a body into a stall. At this point I had so many questions such as why has he killed him, why has he killed someone in a toilet and why does he think by placing a body in a toilet stall that he will not be found out as the murderer, however, through this major plot holes we still see some good use of camera work and editing. One shot i particularly liked was when he kicked the knife away, he begins to pick up the body and in doing so he realises he also needs to hide his weapon so he drops the legs of the body kicks away the knife and then continues to move the victim, although you cannot see his face, therefore making it tough to read his emotions, they have used this shot very well to convey he is not used murder, from his body language you could see he almost forgot to get rid of incriminating evidence and so he clearly isn't very careful and so we assume he hasn't done this before.
He then continues to clean the toilets and go back to pick up the knife he earlier kicked now i have a real problem with this because why would he kick the knife under a toilet stall to only return seconds later to pick it up and place it in his pocket, he then continues out of the toilet and we watch as the door slowly brings itself to a close.
