The still frame is a low angle shot of a man standing.This makes him look very superior. The medium shot used signifies the little information the audience knows about the man. The low key lighting makes it difficult for the audience to see the man, only a silhouette as is it back lighting. These dark colours connote evil which signifies the man is the villain. The combination of a medium shot and low key lighting makes the villain look very mysterious, which is an enigma code.

The villain is positioned at the side of the frame which signifies he is always around the corner lurking or spying. As the audience see this, they might identity with his victim as they feel his evil, dark presence.

The villain's costume is plain black clothes which again connotes evil or even death. This creates expectaions for the narrative as he might kill or attempt to kill.
