There is then a change in the non diegetic sound as it goes high-pitched with a typical violin/string instrument sound. This works hand in hand with the footage of a sudden smashed window and dramatic change in facial expression of the character. The character is wearing a white shirt, which connotes innocence and makes the audience believe they must be the victim. The lighting used at this point appears to be produced by the headlights of a car, providing more information that a car crash may have just occurred.
The image on the screen then goes black, as the instrumental, non-diegetic sound similar to a car rolling takes place. The lighting is changing and captures footage of the female every few seconds being thrown about in the car. Her facial expressions are shown through the continuation of a medium close up shot. Smashed glass is moving about throughout this scene which suggests danger.
There is then some diegetic sound which has been put in slow-motion of a grunting sound of the character who is still conscious, but showing signs of pain. You can hear a sharp intake of breath, which links back to the beginning for the audience and shows a contradiction from the initial scene of the character trying to control their breathing. This footage then continues as the volume of sound increases the add suspended for the audience, and a further diegetic sound of the character shouting 'no' in slow motion. This may be trying to put the audience in the characters shoes and shows that when some thing like a car crash occurs your brain tends to slow the events down due to an overflow of adrenaline.
The character them returns back to her original position that we first saw her in, but looks rougher than before as her hair is over her face and her facial expression has dropped. This change in appearance emphasis' the change in mood that has occurred. The camera angle them changes to a medium shot and the female character, who isn't in control of the vehicle, turns to looks at something. This creates and enigma code for the audience. There is then a shot from the female characters point of view to reveal a man, who is stereotypically more powerful and therefore more likely to be the perpetrator, who is wearing black, which connotes negativity and danger. He appears either in shock or angry.
There is then a sudden increase in light coming from behind the male character which suggests another incident about to occur. The shot then cuts back to the female who's facial features are harder to comprehend due to the high exposure lighting. This may represent the unknown of the character for the audience, or the lack of clarity that the audience has of the situation that the character is in.
There is a dramatic increase in diegetic sound of a car speeding up which scares the audience and builds tension on screen. The effect of the sound working hand in hand with the light intensity building shows something is about to happen. This sound then decreases very dramatically and reveals the female falling slowly downwards towards a bed. The character then hits the mattress which creates a subtle noise as she breaths out and her arms are moved due to the light impact. The maintenance of the same facial expression throughout the change of music, lighting and shots makes scene appear to be fluent and natural. At the exact moment she hits the bed, there is a diegetic sound, off-screen of a child shouting 'mum' and the scene proceeds very naturally, whilst maintaining similar low key lighting as before.
