The document discusses the cinematography techniques used in a horror film to build tension and imply that the main character is being followed or watched. Several shots are described that make the character seem isolated through framing, lighting, camera movement and point of view shots. These shots include a long shot of the character alone, tracking shots that follow the character closely, reflections that imply someone is waiting, and over the shoulder shots that suggest the character is being followed. The cinematography aims to create a spooky and tense atmosphere through obscured and limited views of the character and surroundings.

2. Similar to this we are going to be presenting our credits on a number of separate clips
so it is not too much information to read at once. The credits will fade in and out onto
the screen in sequence. In this case the credits are presented at the start of the film
which is an idea we like and think works well; Therefore we have decided to present
our credits at the start of our film.

3. This is the first shot shown in the film and introduces the character from
the start. It is a long shot of the woman who is the main character in the
film. It purposefully ignores the rule of thirds in order to create a distorted
obscure effect.
Here the camera has stayed in the same position and tracked the woman
from the front by allowing her to walk towards the camera. It again shows
who the main focus is. In both these beginning shots low key lighting is
used to create a spooky effect and introduce the genre of the film right
away.
This again is a strange shot used in the film. The main focus for the
audience is the mirror in the corner which shows a car entering a car park
alone. The use of the reflection creates an image that somebody is perhaps
watching or waiting for the car.
Here the camera has panned to a tracking shot of the car. It appears to be
isolated in the car park and the tracking shot makes it look like someone is
following them.

4. Here is an over the shoulder shot. This creates an effect that the person
is being followed closely behind. It is also a point of view shot which
shows nothing in the distance emphasising total aloneness.
The camera tracks the woman and shows a mid shot of her. It remains
very close implying somebody is right behind her.
After the closeness of the camera tracking the woman, there is then a
reaction shot to a noise heard. The woman looks a little scared and
confused implying something is there.
The camera then cuts to a point of view shot from the woman’s
perspective. It creates an effect of confusion after hearing a noise there
is nothing there. A wall dominates a large section of the screen which
could suggest somebody is hiding.

5. Here is a medium shot of a woman getting out of a lift where you can
clearly see she is totally alone. Low-key lighting is used in a way in which
you are unable to see the woman’s facial features creating a distorted
image.
The camera cuts to a tracking shot of the woman. Again the lighting
remains low-key in order to keep with the sense of horror and create
tension as you are unaware to completely see what is in the shot.
This is a very effective shot used. It is an over the shoulder shot where
the killer dominates most of the screen. He is dressed in black to stand
out on the walls which are lit. The camera is from his point of view
down a long corridor with the woman at the end alone.
