Chains - Psychological Thriller
It holds a steady shot on the phone closeup
Most clips only include the victim and the tent with the surrounding area to show setting
It doesn't meet all the shot ranges, we only see mid and closeup shots.
It shows the psychological element e.g. the phone messages and mystery of her death.
We can clearly see the use of mise en scene by the use of hand held camera and jerky and mysterious music.
The editing tells us who is the victim and who is the killer by the vulnerability in the shots e.g. closeup of her eyes.
When the character is running there's a weird colouring effect which gives the impression of escaping from something.
in the forest setting we see appropriate use of a wind sound.
We see titles on a black background in time with the music and in a spooky font, the title chains at the end stands out to the rest and makes itself unique.

Psychological Conventions
The opening clip is left is leaving suspense, which meats the mystery convention, as to who, and how she died.
The danger is at a mental level, this is represented with the mysterious texts and phone calls, leaving the characters feeling vulnerable.
There are two characters preying on each others, the victim and the killer e.g. the phone call calls etc a battle of the mind.
We cant see yet that the characters try to discover the purpose.
We don't get to see if the characters have a fear or fascination with death.
Narrative is confuing over what is real. when she is running she is also in the tent at the same time.
