A close up of a female identifies her as a main character, a side-view of her face makes the audience curious as to why the whole of her face has not been shown. The unusual beginning setting of woods makes a connection with the horror/thriller genre, as does the concept of a woman running through the woods. This gives the theme of a chase, other than a recognisable action film, this is commonly used in thriller films. The camera tracks the woman from behind, emphasising the chase, like we are following her. The simple credits, in block capitals, black with a slightly off-white outlining makes the film appear low budget. Approximately, the films budget was $19,000,000 which is a very low budget considering the competition in today's film industry.
The genre is established by the background music, the music also adds emphasis on the idea of the chase, starts off quick and gradually slows down. The instrumental sequence of music establishes the thriller genre, as the music is eery and makes you feel on-edge.
