This student thriller opening follows the conventions of the genre through themes of voyeurism and possible murder. The girl is followed around the woods and the viewer sees her through the lens of a camera, indicated through the effects on screen. The mise en scene creates a suspenseful atmosphere, as forests are often associated with getting lost, and is often the setting for horror and thriller films. However, this dark atmosphere is contrasted by the girl laughing and playing with leaves, which helps to set up an enigma regarding how the girl dies. The piano sound is creepy, albeit stereotypical of the genre, and the screeching noise interrupting when the colour changes emphasizes the fact that something bad is happening.
