High Angle: the camera was placed on the top and angled down, this makes her look really small and gives us a sense of loneliness.

Lighting: the only light you can see from this scene is the streetlight and it again shows the loneliness. The light is not even shinning on her, infers that she still sees everything although she is in the dark.

Color: when you look at this scene, you realize it is really dark. The entire scene has a cold color. From this choice of color, the director is trying to express the girl’s hopelessness, loneliness and disappointments.

The rule of thirds: this shot is composed by using the rule of thirds, the director puts the girl who is the most important person in the corners, it makes a strong impact on the audience and makes the shot balance with all the darknesses.

Psychology (Context): it shows our understanding of the character in a shot, we know that she just realized the guy lied to her, so you can feel the disappointments she was undergoing

Props: this scene doesn’t have a lot of props. The only obvious props are the jacket and the motorcycle. The jacket is actually a symbol of her trust for the guy, but as she throws away the jacket, there is no more trust for him.

Setting: since the director chooses to use a long shot for this scene, the setting is presented clearly. She is on an empty street, it was snowing and cold. This setting emphasizes her loneliness, disappointments, hopelessness and it also makes the audience feel pity for her.
