For example, when Oscar resisted in the snow, the little boy's red sweater formed a sharp contrast with the bright snow color, highlighting the little boy, forming a strong sense of contrast, and making the picture present a tense atmosphere. And when Ellie's waiting for the food target under the bridge, the whole picture is black, and only Ellie's target and Ellie's shadow can be seen. It is also easy to reflect the tense and dark atmosphere of the characters when they are indoors. The horror brought about by the instant freezing of the scene is also very unforgettable.

The film's use of scenes is also very clever, and the director's use of scenes creates suspense for the audience. When Oscar and Ellie met for the second time, the distance between the two became significantly closer. The director gave a close-up of the Rubik's Cube, and a small Rubik's Cube became the carrier of the emotional transmission of the two children. When Oscar plucked up the courage to beat his classmates who bullied him with a wooden stick, the director used a close-up shot to shoot the bullying boy, first filming his facial expressions and then his ears after being beaten. Suspense, after being beaten, red blood drips onto the snow, which brings great visual experience to the audience.
