Performance:
The performance consists of Pink, the artiste dressed as a nurse, but not your typical hospital nurse. it is more of a sexy nurse outfit, which is suppose to appeal to the male gaze.

Camerawork:
The camera is often seen following Pink, there is often the use of low angle that makes Pink appear powerful.
Editing:
Often the shots are continuous,especially when they are fighting at the start, they are also quite jumpy and choppy to go with their fast actions. There is a lot of back and forth with the use of continuous to show the set and the scenes.
Intertextuality :
Throughout you see Pink the artiste dressed as a nurse and the man in a bed, she is shown caring for him after he falls down the stairs. However, she becomes oppressive and will not let him leave her. This is similar to the Stephen King's film Misery where Cathy Bates plays a psychotic fan who is obsessed with this Author (James Cann). she becomes controlling and obsessive over him after finding him injured after a car accident. then when she begins to care for him, she eventually won't let him leave and locks him away.
There is also the similarity with the the TV show 'Criminal Minds'. there is an episode where the killer will take its victims and presents them as dolls, similar to what Pink does to her victim by painting his face to represent him as a doll.
