i liked the opening scene as i like the music playing over it it created a tense feeling to the audience however i felt it stopped abruptly in saying this however i wanted to know more . i liked the varied use of shots especially when the girl was climbing up the stairs and when they had a close up of the computer to emphasize the severity from this short clip i concluded that through different shots we can change the audiences idea of the whole piece.
