Sound.
Non-diagetic - beat of music coordinates with names on screen for emphasis.
Build to a crescendo - signal for beginning of film - tension - excitement.
Music intentionally composed to create a mood of darkness & intensity.
High volume - audience feel emersed/ bombarded.
Lighting/colour tones.
Dark shadows/earthy/sepia tones - mystery - enigma.
Editing.
Quick cuts in succession - linked images.
Shots with longer screen time - highlight importance/significance.
Cohesive shots - repeated - hint at narrative & create cohesion.
Iconography.
Gun, razor blade, crime scene evidence - violence/crime scene.
This would be even better with a link Jack!
