The Orphan - Esthers drawings about her past
Clip begins at 0.05
Music - The organ is being played piano using only low legato notes. When the pictures get lit up we hear a crash of drums and the organ beings to play higher notes soon followed by string instruments playing the melody.
Sound - The scene starts with a sound bridge of Esther clicking a button which creates mystery and enigma. There are no other sounds used throughout this scene which makes the audience feel tense.
Narrator - We learn a lot about Esthers character within this scene because the pictures she has drawn explain her past life. Collet-Serra uses a zooming low angle shot at the beginning of this scene in order to make the audience feel curious about what is behind the door. It then cuts to a shot of Esthers hand on a button turning it on and off also creating suspense which leads to Esthers face. There is no light highlighting her facial expressions which mirrors the darkness in her actions and then contrasts with the bright colours lighting up her pictures. Collet-Serra also uses this so show the psychotic behaviour Esther is performing. The scene ends by seeing Esthers face slightly lit up by the UV lighting reflecting from the pictures, she shows no emotion through her facial expressions which tells us that she isn't remotely regretful for what she has done in her past.
