Our opening sequence will begin with a teenage girl on the computer talking on a msn to a man she knows under the name of 'Paul'. They make it obvious that they haven't actually met yet but are planning to soon.
Continuity editing is used as it then cuts to a series of shots revealing different images from around the boiler room. During these pictures, our credits appear in a white font. Suddenly, there's a shot of the young girl handcuffed to a pole. We would slowly reveal her condition and also will build up tension with the non-diegetic music in the background. We will then introduce more conventions of a thriller that includes using children’s toys to create an eerie atmosphere.
Her hands are trapped as they're tied by handcuffs to a pipe. We see the man pick up a bat and walk past her, which implies that he's a dodgy character and it was the man she was talking to dangerously on the internet.
Towards the end, there's a shot of another girl who is wearing a doll costume, who has clearly been there for ages after being captured by this man.
The end shot is of the victim, Paige, lying outside.
