Setting
At the beginning the clip is set in what seems to be a long hallway with nothing much on the walls.
In the middle ,the setting changes to house's basement.The basement was dark as there was only 1 lamp used as a source of light.It was quite stuffy inside the basement as there was a lot of things scattered everywhere therefore causing it hard for the children to find the missing toy.
