Phillip Noyce uses the technical codes and conventions to explain how the skin examination scene uses the different camera angles, camera movement, lighting, special effects and the length of the shots. Natural lighting is used through out the scene to show the natural lighting of the bush which brings the bright warm colours. The many camera angles that are featured in this film include: point of view shot, close-up, mid shot and low shot. The camera angle point of view shot used in this scene was used on molly to show the audience what it was like through her eyes. This was significant because as the audience Phillip Noyce wanted to try to bring the audience into the film. Another camera angle shot featured in this scene is the mid angle shot which is used to show the skin examination scene with a lot of detail and depth. The camera is hand held and occasionally on rail which gradually moves along. Noyce has used this because he wanted to get the realistic feel about the scene.
