38:20 – 40:00
Sound
- Enhanced heartbeat is presumably Angelique's
- Breathing again is Angelique's after she has been running
- Non-diegetic operatic music - dramatises the scene
- Whisper of 'Je t'aime' meaning I love you, subtle sound could represent how Angelique has just about heard it as she is intruding
- I love you repeats itself almost like it is playing over in Angelique's mind
- Slamming of police van doors and subtle siren is drowned out but the non-diegetic music and heartbeat
- Heartbeat continuous thorughout scene
- Slow click of each gas knob
- Diegetic seeping gas sound
Mise en scene
- Running
- Police van
- Slobby clothing - not concerned with her appearance to obsessed to care
- Ringing her hands – worry as she cares for Loic
- His busy scene being surrounded by police and reporters contrasts her rather empty scene looking over, shows she is isolated from everything
- Dishevelled appearance – hair is messy and unkempt, grazed cheek, no make up (contrast to early in the film where she was seen enjoying putting on make up and making herself up)
- Wife's wedding ring clearly in shot – reaffirms how unattainable he is
- Passionate kiss between Loic and his wife
- His gaze is solely on wife
- Angelique is staring at him
- Angelique attempts suicide – what she has seen has confirmed he has eluded her and her obsession with him is so strong she wants to commit suicide
- Lays on the floor – awaiting and closes her eyes
Camera angles
- Tracking shot of her running
- Long shot of him being taken by the police – her perspective always watching from a far like a stalker would
- Wife runs into frame, interrupts Angelique's vision and sole focus on Loic and so she becomes distracted by the pair of them together
- Camera is always following Loic - reflects Angelique's focus on him
- Mid shot of kiss which is centred in the middle of the camera frame
- Close up on Angelique's face shows her reaction to their kiss - facial expression looks as though she has been betrayed, her eyes glossy close to tears
- Close up of passionate kiss
- Blurry shoulder of someone at the edge of the shot in the way - perhaps from Angelique's perspective as she is watching through the crowd
- Another close up of Angelique's face, her eyes follow the police van as he is driven away and her nostrils flare showing her upset
- Close up of Angelique turning on the gas knobs - allows the audience to realise what is happening
- Cuts from Angelique to what she is looking at then back and forth to see her reactions to the action
- Slowed down motion to make the kiss more intense and to show that it is what is playing on Angelique's mind
- Slower pace to reflect Angelique's disbelief in what she has witnessed and how time has slowed for her as she has had a sudden shock/impact of the truth which she is struggling to comprehend
- The pace is very slow in order to be reflective
