The font is very bold and is a red colour to represent a violent and demonic theme, this is then reinforced by the consistent use of blood in the shots and the eventual use of fire. The blood is a brighter red colour than blood actually is, this makes the blood stand out more against the dark backgrounds of the shots. The music is very loud and tense, this generates suspense for the viewer and creates an enigma. The earlier shots are very close up shots but the viewer can see that it is flesh being sliced, this causes a greater discomfort as not only is it the sight of flesh being sliced but they cannot see the full shot. There are constant flashes of images throughout the sequence that the viewer may only see for a fraction of a second, this image alarms the reader but as it is very short they cannot remember seeing the image. We only saw these images by coincidence when we paused the shot for a screen cap.
