The scene begins with a misty, barron landscape. We then see a restaurant from the outside, and the camera slowly zooms toward the inside of the building. The music used sets an uneasy feeling to the film, we can hear what sounds like wind getting louder and louder. The use of music helps build up to something negative we think is going to happen. We are then shown a butcher in a kitchen sharpening his knife. The only diagetic sound is the rough cleaning of his knife, it is truly a skin crawling sound effect, and gives the scene a voilent feel. After a moment the camera continues to zoom forward, this time landing on a pipe on the wall, as this happens, the sharpening of the knife increases in volume and clarity, obviously this how the knife is heard where the pipe is placed. The tension grows. We are then shown a man on the other side of the pipe. He is listening to the loud sharpening of the knife. The man shown here is smothered in blood and bandages, we can tell from his body language and facial expression that he is scared.
