The extreme close up shot of the photo shows that this is a significant prop in the scene. This is emphasised by the non diegetic sound of a weapon, such as a gun shot, which also adds to the shock. The audience can empathise with the characters shock of seeing the photo by the use of a jump cut which was accompanied by a flash, which leads to a further zoomed in shot of the photograph. Because this prop is coming from the capture, who is Asian, the audience then relates this horrific picture to him and assumes he is the cause which adds to the stereotype of Asian terrorists, which relates to Propp's theory - The Villain. This is juxtaposed however with the dialogue during the scene, as the audience begins to understand and empathise with the antagonist.
