Film sequence opens with sketchy writing and a creepy, uncomfortable sound track screeching in the background. It immediately puts the audiences on edge, also the extreme close ups makes it uncomfortable for the viewers as it if difficult to focus on what is on the screen.
Disturbing images follow, with the jumping music track carrying on. This is the first image after the one of the book, so straight away the audience gather that it is a weird opening focusing on a deranged person due to the images they are looking at.
The sequence continues, with extreme close ups to disorientate the audience. It also makes the viewers feel uncomfortable as they feel too close to the action on screen, which is creepy and unordinary. Dirty hands scribbling multiple lines in an open book make the audience think the person is organized and methodical, which makes the whole situation scarier as the person is obviously someone with a degree of intelligence.
Sketchy editing and almost child like writing across the screen help disorientate the viewers, it is difficult to understand what is going on, which makes the audience intrigued as they want to find out what is going on. The jumpy, screeching soundtrack continues in the background, this increases the feeling of unease.
More disturbing images follow, these really make the audience disturbed yet want to carry on watching to see who it is who is so intent on collecting and organizing these vile images and clippings. The way each image is stuck in a book, or the way the notes are written neatly, increase the awkward feeling of discomfort for the viewer. The fast, uneven editing adds to the awkward atmosphere, it is generally difficult to watch yet draws the audience in with intense close ups and disturbing images.
