2. Camerawork is very meaningful.
High and Low angles can connote fear and nightmares.
POV shots are important because they allow the audience to see the
world from the victims eyes.
Sounds are very important in a horror movie.
Ambient diegetic sounds like footsteps and heavy breathing allow the
scene to make the audience feel tense.

shapes in the blackness.
