sound

Non-diegetic / voice overs, music, noises you wouldn't hear if you were in the scene.

Diegetic/ the sounds you can hear in the scene 

how was camera work used to create meaning ?

the camera work in this scene points out every thing the imposters are doing such as chasing after the man and even when the supposed vicar pulls a gun out on Mrs Peel. the use of a mid shot when the imposters catch Mrs Peel at the door really focuses on all of there emotions and weapons they possess.
