The duration of each shot says a lot about the pace of the scene and how the director wanted to build tension at certain points in the scene. At the beginning of the scene the editing is very slow-paced with lots of long shots, which builds anticipation: we can feel comfortable as the scene doesn't dart back and forth between different shots, but as an audience member we question this when watching thriller because when things seem to be going well, or very little is going on, we expect something bad to happen next.
When a character says something impotant or significant to the plot, for example when Saito questions whether they are in a dream, or when Mol discusses pain being in the mind, the shots are longer.
