I believe the film ad alot of funding as it's a popular film with good actors, including angelina jolie.

Mise-en-scene
characters:

• Angelina Jolie
  

- Dress and cardigan to show motherhood as she is pregnant
- Long straight air
- natural makeup to try and show a natural glow.

• Male character

- cold makeup to show an antagonist look
- dark clothing, brown jacket.
- deep voice to show tension

Location is far away in the hills to build tension so the audience can tell someone will be arriving uninvited and cause trouble.

There are many props involved in the last scene as she is determine to kill the male character. Theres also probs within the house that are general items of furnishing. She uses, scissors to kill him however she also comes in contact with a mug, a sharp metal object (to strangle her).

The shots identify their facial expressions, for example, a close up was used when angelina jolie was being strangled to allow the audience to feel what she feels and to see the pain he's causing so when he finally dies the audience are at ease.

• Lighting
  
• Natural, misty but clear enough to see people and expressions.
  

No obvious special effects used.

The dialogue is natural so the audience can relate to the characters as a feel of being in the situation.
