Sound - In this opening extract there is low pitched non-diegetic music throughout the sequence, which builds to a crescendo as the character moves through the house towards the door and windows. This creates tension and suspense as the eeriness of the music adds to the mysterious effect of the narrative as it's unclear what's happening. The lack of dialogue in this scene also adds to the mysteriousness and tension as there's a lack of clarity and detail.
Mise-En-Scene - Low key lighting is also used in the opening scene in the house to add to the mysteriousness as the character's facial features are more difficult to see so he seems anonymous, and the darkness of the scene suggests that there's up-coming danger.
Camera and Editing- Once the character has reached the window a long point-of-view shot is used to show the stretch of the street and the outside of his house. The length of this shot highlights the character's nervousness towards his suspicion that someone unknown is outside his house as the shot shows that he is repeatedly checking up and down the street for a mysterious figure.
