In our opening shot we see a medium long shot of a mother and daughter standing together, posing for a holiday photograph, taken by an unknown third party.

The second shot is an establishing shot of a house at night time. We can see that looking out of the window is the daughter, Catherine,  from the previous shot. We can see that she appears to be alone in the house, and we will find out soon that her mother has vanished without a trace.

This is a medium close up of our protaganist looking at a the photograph that we saw in the opening shot of the film.

We now see a medium long shot of Catherine taking a phone call.

This extreme close up of Catherine taking the phone call is to increase intensity due to the content of the phone call. If  we could hear the dialogue of the conversation we would find out that Catherine's mother is alive and well and we would find out where Catherine could find her.

We see another extreme close up of somebody whispering things about her mother in her ear. This increases Catherine's curiosity about her mother and forces her to investigate into her mothers unusual disappearance.

This shot shows Catherine listening to the advice of the unknown caller and going out looking for her mother in, what we assume to be, the location, that the opening shot/photograph was taken in. It's a long shot to give the audience a view of the surroundings and it's also an establishing shot of the area. 

We have a second long shot showing an unknown person in the bushes near where Catherine is walking. We can see this person is not Catherine as they are not following the path and they are wearing a different item of clothing. we can only see them from a distance, blurred by trees which adds a sense of mistery for the audience.

We see another long shot of Catherine still walking to a specific location. The area appears to be less wooded and we have a clearer view of Catherine as she walks.

We can see Catherine walking to a familiar location of the ruin that we saw earlier on in the film. It's an extreme long shot and the shot is slightly darker and more sinister.

In this shot we can see that the location is where Catherine and her mother were pictured in the first location of the film. This also establishes to an audience exactly where Catherine is.



This shot is almost exactly the same as the previous shot and is exactly the same as the first shot, except that it is in black and white. It's in black and white to represent a flashback of the opening shot of the film.



We can now see a medium long shot of Catherine sitting at the location waiting.

This is a high angle shot of Catherine and it's also a point of view shot, of somebody else spying on Catherine.

We now see a long shot of Catherine, chasing the figure in white that we saw earlier in the film, round the ruin.

This shot is an over the shouldour shot, which shows the audience the moment when Catherine discovers her mother and who has been hiding her (it's her sister, Catherine's aunt, this is revealed through dialogue).

This is a close up, reaction shot, and this shot reverse shot would be used throughout the dialogue between Catherine, her aunt and her mother.

We have a close up shot of when Catherine's aunt attacks Catherine.

This is a close up over the sholdour shot of the mother pulling the aunt off of Catherine.

This is a high angle medium long shot of the mother throwing the aunt to the floor. This shot shows a shift in power from the aunt to the mother and it shows how the mother has taken control of the situation.

This final long shot of Catherine and her mother walking off hapily into the distance rounds the film up. It is a similar shot to the one we see at the beginning of the film except that it is taken from behind. It also shows the arc in the background which has been a prominant feature of the film.
