- Female lead in film Noir and bleak view of humanity (female detective with with dull natural lighting look out of the window of her car with heavy rain outside - metaphor for a dull view of humanity)
- Sexualisation in film Noir but with the male gender instead (male sex doll at the start).
Todorov - The theory of equilibrium and distribution.
- The lead actress cancels her flight to catch the killer (her plan to start anew, in a new place with her son and boyfriend was disrupted the missing girl case she’s working on).
- The father of the girl that’s missing going to work happily but, then finding out his daughters missing (the pitch perfect life of the victim family is shown with the scene of her father and mother messing about which is further empathised by the orangish lighting in the background, which is mise en scene, however is thrown in disruption when the mother tells the father their precious daughter is missing).
Strauss - The theory of binary opposition
- We know everything about the detective but, nothing about the killer - The known vs The unknown.
- The detectives home life is great whereas the victims family is in disraught - Happiness vs sadness.
Knight - The prolonging of the inevitable
- The police trying to find out weather or not the heroine in the story is alive or not.
- The council man not confronting the mole in his part, his lover.
