Camera Shots
IN HORROR FILMS
1. High Angle Shot
 Used to present vulnerability
of a character
 Shows their powerlessness
 Similarly relates to a bird
eye view shot
 Audience see the
perspective of the
killer/predator
2. Low Angle
 Emphasises on how strong,
dominant, scary and
intimidating the villain is.
 Could also possible make the
audience feel insignificant as
well as weak.
 Gives a clear idea about who
has more power in that
moment of the storyline.
3. Titled Angles
 Adds dramatic tension to the shots
 Could imitate a supernatural being
pushing/moving the camera
 Intrigues the audience and entices
them as it presents a different way the
shots are seen in
 Good for also presenting victim’s
perspectives and what you see, they
see.
4. Hand-held Camera Shot
 Often used in horror-thriller films
 Adds a sense of realism
 Makes the audience feel more
involved
 Imitation of you actually being
there with the hand held camera
shots
 Works closely with static, night vision
shots etc.
5. Point of view shot
 Taken from the point of view of the
character
 Popular in horror films as the
audience becomes emotionally
attached and more scared
 For example a monster could be
running towards you and the scene
you would see would be as if you
were running away trying to dodge
obstacles in the way
6. Over the Shoulder Shot
 Used to create tension
 Extremely common in horror films and
thrillers
 Used around mirrors and reflections as
well
 Shows the audience what’s
happening the same time the
character finds out
 Generally used to show a figure
standing behind a victim
7. Close Up Shots
 Used to present the character’s
emotions through the
actor/actresses.
 Used to capture detail in the scene.
 The facial expressions indicate
whether what they face is good or
bad.
 E.g. if something bad was to occur
in the movie, the facial expression
would tend to be with a frightened
look.
8. Extreme/Long Shot
 Used to establish
locations/settings etc.
 Gives the perspective of
deserted town or city
 The location tends to give the
idea of the type of horror
story (though some do go
against the normal
conventions)
9. Zoom
 Adds elements of suspense and fear
 Adds dramatic effect
 Could be to zoom into see
something you normally wouldn't
have spotted like a super natural
being
 Fear; as you don’t know what you
are going to see next
10. Tracking/Panning Shots
 Connotes movement
 Resembles a character being
followed/watched/stalked.
 Full view can be seen therefore
establishes the scene
 Builds tension
 Suspense; as you are unaware of
what you will be shown next
