Cinematography:

Mise en scene:

Sound: Within the film, sound is used to give an earie and unsettling feeling to the audience. An example of this being the ending credits where there is no sound except a low tone hum. This occurs right after the ending in which Diane is attacked being the most surreal part of the film therefore the sound adds towards the suspense giving a sense of mystery.

Editing: editing in Mulholland drive is used to build and relieve tension within scenes. An example being when the two detective check the back of the diner before being jumped at by a monster. In this scene its edited in a way in which scene rarely cut to another shot leaving a sense of tension as the audience is left unsure when something is going to happen.
