Editing

The film start of very slow, with cross devolves linking the New York skyline with the docks. However the film then start to become faster as the protagonist and audience move close to see the monster. The long timed shot with simple cut or continuity editing followed by fast timed shot and more cut between shot. This create pace and gives the feeling the time is moving faster with the cut.

Mise-en-Sence

The fist shot the audience sees is New York with a very foggy day this gives a very foreboding feeling to the film and tense atmosphere. The is reenforced my the back streets - slums of the dock. The rain also gives a cold and miserable feel the start of the film. The clothes the they are dress in are thick and warm clothing which implies that is it a cold day and that not much is happening as people would be indoors. The long dock that gets rip apart is used to create speed and tension as the audience does not know if the   protagonist will escape. The text at the end of the film is a green font the a yellow cloud behind over black. The use of green tell the audience that there is something mysteries going on and that the film had some sort of green skin monster in it as there is a texture to the font.

Sound

The music at the beginning of the film is mythes as it uses high sound, this is a non diegetic sound. The audience can hear the rain hitting water the tell the view that it is rain as cold, this again is non-diegetic. The sound of the rope unwinding is diegetic and tell the view that something is pulling the ropes line. When the monster is seem the music change and become tense and dark with sharpe and uneven sounds. All of these are used to create a dooming atmosphere and that something is coming.
