Mise en Scene creates a theme of enigma and discomfort to help portray a Thriller, for example Ryan Gosling's character is wearing a black leather jacket and all black pants and suit tie as well which gives us the idea of darkness and discomfort because he's quite a showed, hidden character who we don't know a lot about. The whole scene is also very dark and low key with a lot of shadows and blackened out corners that we cant see into which creates enigma.
Sound
The sound in this scene helps create the feel of a thriller because we actually don't here Goslings character talk once after the first few seconds which makes us believe that he is someone we don't know and someone we may not want to know, because of this mystery and strange behaviour we feel that he is someone we shouldn't like and should actually be weary of in the film, leaving us on the edge of our seats. In the background we can hear a clock ticking when he starts to time how long the men take to rob the place and this builds suspense as it approaches a minute.
The editing throughout the scene is actually quite slow paced but it gradually builds as Goslings character starts to get slightly panicked because he thinks he may get caught during a robbery but this is all show through cuts because they are slow paced and change when he does so its almost like its following his point of view, and as he doesn't talk this is a clear way to see hows he's feeling, through the tempo of the cuts, that get more intense.
The camera in this scene helps to create the feeling of a thriller by having us follow his perspective as such, so for example wherever Ryan would look the camera would follow, making us watch something we may not want to watch. Also when he starts to drive off the camera pans up to an establishing shot as we see where he is and he's in the night time of California, which makes us realise how big it is compared to him.
