Editing
The scene starts off with a slow pace,  and gradually builds up, this causes the tension of the audience. The catalyst has a lot of long shots, and the duration of the shots are more longer then other past thrillers.


Mise en scene 
This scene is set in a deserted piece of land, full of grass, tress and nature. At the start, a character is dressed in a suit and uses a knife to pick the lock on a door to break in. At this point he goes into a room and removes a gun rifle from a bag. He then aims out the window using the scope and shoots. A man then gets shot and another runs away. The camera the follows the man who is running. The man then wears casual clothing and a flat hat. The man then gets in the car and notice the driver is dead. A man in the back seat then chokes the man and kills him. After he gets out the car he walks and it ends.

Sound
The sound in the background of this film is very quiet, nearly all the sound in this thriller extract is diegetic. There is a very quite non diegetic soundtrack playing in the background of the extract.
There are sounds of breathing, and when the person is being chased you can hear him heavily breathing. Furthermore near the end you can hear the sound of the person being suffocated.
