5. Technical Elements
The lighting in the room is always low key as it is not a well light room, we get a
bird's eye view (high angle) of the room about halfway through the drama to
shows that she is confined to the four walls. The story is built on her being seen as
a nice caring character then the hacker showing the true side of Casey.
At the end of the drama when Casey opens her door high key lighting is used in
the hallway is to represent that she is now free from the torture of the hacker.
At the beginning of the drama we hear diegetic pings from the computer as Casey
is getting messages from her friends and she is happy compared to at the end as
the pings you hear become a threat as we know none of her “friends” messaging
Casey and it is the hacker.
