I think that this film does look like a horror film, and it has both the right visuals and sounds that a convential horror film would use, which gives off the feel of a horror.
This film does have a range of shots, but like a usual horror film, it is mainly made up of close ups and mid shots, to get the reactions and facial expressions of the main character and to prevent distancing the audience. There is also a few long shots, which gives the audience an idea of the location and setting.
I believe that the film is well framed throughout and uses the right amount of room in the different shots. I think that the rule of thirds is used correctly.
The film flows quite well in my opinion, and only has a couple of minor continuity errors, such as when the girl is getting out of her bed. Apart from this, it flows and works well.
Mise en scene is not really used in this film apart from the focus on the stairs, as this is obviously where the threat is established and coming from. There is also no costumes in it, as none are needed because we only see the main character, who is wearing pajamas as she is in bed.
We hear diegetic sound being used in this film when there is banging, which is obviously the threat and creates fear for the character. We also hear the main character crying, which shows that she is scared because something is going to happen. Non-diegetic sound is also used, as the background music helps to create tension and give us the impression that something is going to happen, as it is high pitched and comes to a halt when the threat appears.
