It's a jungle, with an abandoned place. Mr Drake is looking around suspiciously. A lot of green. The scene is quite aged like mature cheddar and suspense building. It is quite Low-Key.


This shows seriousness in the scene and suspense. This is shown by the body language and facial expressions. Sam looks mildly angry. His body language looks quite aggressive. Nathan's facial expression shows him looking disappointed. The setting of the jungle adds isolation to the scene. All of these add suspense to lead up to a large part of the story. It is quite dark to have shade on either side of both their faces. This makes them look suspicious.
