Through the use of clothes and positioning, the victim of the film is revealed within the first few minutes. The first scene in the film, of a woman in a hotel room, shows her lying on a bed looking up at a man. Her positioning of looking up at the man suggests that she is a vulnerable character that is easily dominated by male characters, which we later see in the film. Also in this scene, we see a change in colour of her clothes, where at first they are white, symbolizing purity and a gentle nature, but afterwards we learn the character has stolen £40,000 and her clothing changes from white to black, changing the original connotations, and associating her with darkness and danger.
