Also the "editing" in the killing in the beginning is quite fast and uses a lot of jump cuts to show the intensity of the scene of the naked women being chased through the woods almost as if a rapid beating heart further increasing tension.Another thing about the editing in the beginning is that after the jump cuts in the chase they editors would jump to the opening credits and in the background you would see an indistinct image of something, these cuts would continue for a while until the image became more distinct and in the end it’s an image of a fingerprint.This reveal of the the print is slow almost as if to show that the story of the show will be like this, slow, but revealing at the same time.
Another thing to mention in the Killing is the "sound" especially with the chase of the women when she's running away from her purser, is that the sound is quite muffled and ragged adding an almost out breath feeling increasing the intensity of the scene, not only that, when we see her being able to catch her breath after hiding behind a tree the sound quiets down almost as if the calm before the storm(when she's caught) further increasing the suspense before the climax, which follows Knight’s theory of suspense.
