Camera Angles The first shot is of a basement room panning out to reveal a young lady trapped in a cage. While there is a slightly lower angle on the captor in the clip signifying his dominance, however there isn't a single moment in the clip where the protagonist is depicted in a higher angle signifying her strength. (a higher angle would show weakness and a lack of strength be it emotional or physical)
Music / Sound Throughout the entire clip there is hardly any music and whatever sound there is consists mainly of dialogue and background noise further emphasizing on that fact that our protagonist is isolated and alone. The background noise would lead us believe that this is a basement of some kind as it is reminiscent of a washing machine which most Americans would store in their basement.
Editing The editing in the clip is done so that the one-sided conversation flows smoothly, the constant cuts back and forth highlights the antagonist and the protagonist. The cuts allow us to focus on the maniacal features of the villain and the distress of the hero.
Mise-en-scene It's made quite obvious that the setting in this clip is either a basement or cellar of some type. Most people use basements in America the same way that any of us would use a garage in England; to store junk that we'll never even think about again. The fact that this is a basement is evidenced by the prominent lack of any living furniture and the few towels in the background.
