  Horror : Common camera angles in a horror film (CAMS) - There are many variations of camera angles used in a horror film. Extreme close ups to emphasize facial expressions. Tilt in order to create disorientation. Establishing shots to show the full location which the film is set. Handheld to look realistic. Tracking shots to immerse the audience, and point of view so the audience experiences what the characters experience. Common mise-en-scene in a horror film (CLAMPS) - A setting such as forest or cabin in a horror film creates a tense atmosphere and supports the idea of being alone.

 Today at the old neighborhood we filmed the scene where the character tragically gets hurt in a car accident. This plot of our story is supposed to give the character Nathalie a sense of remorse for the way she treated her friend. Hoping a sense of loss gives her a change of heart toward her selfish behaviors. To do this scene, I had Alexi that has a car drive toward the camera. This took multiple shots, each having different techniques for example the first was just a slow stop but the others combined a honk or a harsh stop.
