Key Scenes: 

The key scene within the film is towards the end when he goes to the beach house to get away from everyone in a while. In this scene, the main character Richard, has a break down and starts crying and screaming. This is an important scene because even though the audience knows that he resented Connor, he still feels regret for his actions. This is creates sympathy towards richard because the audience feels sorry for him that he is in a bad situation. the breakdown of the character shows the different side to his emotions. He is shown to be confident and popular through out the most of the film. But the breakdown scene shows a more vulnerable side to him.

Key micro features: An important micro-feature within this film is sound. There is little non-diegetic sound making the film more eerie because it creates suspense. This links with the title as it is also a mystery. The audience wants to find out the importance of Richard and the sound links up with the whole mystery of the film. Music is normally used to create the atmosphere and set the mood of the film. In this case, the lack of sound still creates the same effect as by having the silence in the film creates awkward tension.
