Prisoners
Café with the ambient sound of the rain amplified. this is done to emphasise the bad weather and re-inforce the reason why the character is sheltering in the café.
On the police radio "all units, all units, an RV was reported matching the description." makes the audience feel alert and helps build the tension. Also this dialogue makes the character look vulnerable.
In the beginning you cant see the police man's face. This is a key convention because it generates a mysterious atmosphere and keeps the audience alert and engaged from the very beginning.
When the police man goes outside we can clearly see it is very dark. The only thing the audience focuses on is the RV. This is important to know because it conveys to the audience that the RV is of specific importance to the film.
Surrounding the RV there are several police vehicles. This again highlights the importance of the RV but also suggests that there is something inside it that the police want or is potentially dangerous. Having a sense of danger builds suspense as the police approach it.
From when the RV is spotted the pace of the editing is very slow. However, when they approach the vehicle the editing gets faster. When the vehicle reverses,the editing gets even faster.
When the mysterious man is confronted the police man shouts "where are those girls!" this gives us uncertainty about this mysterious man and what his purpose was of being there.
