Lost Highway example - analysis

Example opening title - Lost Highway

-Sound: dialogue is one sentence, creates suspense due to lack of detail, also the main doesn't speak which adds suspense as we don't know why he isn't talking.
           : non-diegetic music - loud and was filled with tension.
-Camera: long take moving around the flat, creates tension as no cuts to relieve the tension.
              : extreme close up to buzzer, we wait for him to press the buzzer and hear the other man talk which makes it tense as we wait with anticipation for the buzzer to be pressed.
-Lighting: dark and shows the shadows really well and the light of the cigarette creates a sinister feel to main character.
