2. The most important shot in the abduction scene in both movies is the shot of the photo of Rex and his family. Before that scene we can see Rex already waiting in the car and Saskia standing outside. We know what Rex wants, and we know that Saksia, like most of the women in this film, is not super excited about getting in this strange man's car. Her fears are addressed however when she sees the photo of him and his family. A family man wouldn't, couldn't do anything too crazy, he has a wife and kids to worry about. This is a rational thought process but ultimately it backfires. Saskia is abducted and killed.
3. In both scenes where Raymond is practicing his abduction plans, the director utilizes a bird's eye view shot of Raymond walking around his car. The camera is placed high above and looks down upon the car. The viewer can see Raymond when he is fumbling all the way around the car. The sequence is unbroken by cuts so we can see the full journey of this guy from one side of the car to the other. Only when he enters the car is there a cut, and we can see Raymond as he chloroforms the imaginary woman he has been talking to.
