| Cue | Notes |
| Ambience | Sound of chains dangling and rain falling |
| Where? | Room is large with industrial architecture |
| Lighting | Dark and intense with light slightly looming over everything |
| 1st 1/3 shots (buildup) | Everything shot to set the stage. Camera looming over character almost like a predator stalking prey. |
| 2nd 1/3 shots (tension) | Close ups of character and cat while alien approaches from behind |
| 3rd 1/3 shots (payoff) | Series of fast cuts when character is killed by alien, almost like a stretched jump scare. showing little bits and details that you can pick up if you squint your eyes. Ends with close up of cats face. |
