Sound: There is limited dialogue with only one line being spoken by the voice in the speaker. This creates questions for the viewers that they then want answered. This will keep them intrigued with the film and want to continue watching to find out the reason for the words spoken and what they mean.
Also non diegetic music was used. This was loud and eerie which created a lot of suspense and tension for the scene ascending in crescendo as it the scene went on.
Camera: There is a close up of the protagonists face at the beginning of the clip, this allows us to see his face and wether he is conveying any kind of emotion to further understand the character and how he is feeling or just what situation he is in in the scene. We see that he is very unfazed by the situation and doesn't seem like he is happy nor sad with the circumstances. Representing him as a calm and collected character who is possibly waiting and or expecting something to occur.
There is an extreme close up of the buzzer, this creates tension for the audience as we wait intensely for him to press it and find out what will happen when he does, and see the intriguing plot development.
Editing: An eye line match is used in the beginning when the buzzer goes off. We see the protagonist look at something and then it quickly cuts to allow us to see the buzzer and understand what he is looking at. The effect of this is to allow the viewer experience the suspense the character must feel as he wonders what will happen and who's voice he will hear when he presses the buzzer and wether it will be friendly or not. This allows the audience to be further invested in the scene as they are experiencing the tension along with the protagonist.
Later on when the protagonist is walking around the house there is a long take. This creates great tension as we experience every step he takes and there are no cuts so we are not taken out of the scene and we are forced to see and focus on every second where anything could happen within the take, allowing us to feel the worry of the man of something bad happening.
Mise-en-scene: The protagonist is smoking a cigarette at the beginning. This shows that he may be a kind of rebellious or unstable character. It could also suggest he is using it as a kind of stress relief as he may be expecting something bad to happen or something bad may have already happened, this creates more mystery within the scene as the audience are then wondering why he is smoking and looking stressed. Therefore creating more tension as they now realise either the protagonist may not be a good man and maybe some kind of danger will present itself in the next few seconds.
