The camera captures the female protagonist from a
wide range of angles, makes it look interesting and shows how happy she is. The
voiceover makes it seem as though she is conversing directly with the audience
(with pauses for the audience’s to ask questions) and a personal relationship is
thus established with her. The camera angle as he explains what has happened to
her sister is taken from her point-of-view, which allows the audience to
empathise with her and experience the changes of emotion she is experiencing.
The couple are madly in love and everything at
first seems ideal, her pouring out her heart to him about he has made her so
happy and declaring her love for him. The suddenness of the statement, “I
killed your sister,” is stated in such a matter-of-fact tone of voice, that at
first the audience do not realize like the female protagonist and have to
recheck what he says. The way he also continues to talk as though nothing is
going on creates repulsion for the audience. The absence of a reply from the
woman leaves a hole in the narrative, one of shock, a contrast to the beginning.
