- Many close-up shots to make you think about what has happened, where the place is, who are the people... We see many close ups of things like the girl's arms with the wrist bands, the man's shoes- which we see later on in the sequence and then for a fact, know that that man is the same man as before.
- There is a slightly reversed storyline, where you see the girl dead, then walking in the next scene.
- We are given little clues about small things and not given the whole story to start off with. For example, we see the dead girl's arm with the wrist bands on, then we see, what we think, is the same girl walking in the building as we see her arm with the same wrist bands on.
- We are asking different questions like who is the girl? Why is she dead and in this place? What has happened?
- We know that there is a link between the girl and the man as we see the girl put a note in his locker.
Most of these things are in all thriller films and so this shows that Brick is a certain thriller.
