Types of Camera Angles


 These are a few different types of shots which are useful in horror films:
extreme close-up
this is useful to use mixed with a reaction shot or a zoom into. it helps connect the audience to the character and clearly shows the characters emotions.

close-up
a close-up is common in all types of films, especially horror. this also helps link the audience to the character and shows emotion, but it also shows a little background of the scene, this is also well used with a reaction shot, and as having a conversation.
reaction shot
One of the most important shots in a horror. the reaction shot shows the audience everything and sets the scene, the audience can become either very disturbed or very relieved. a reaction shot connects the audience and makes them feel the characters emotion and really pulls them into the film.

extreme long-shot
this can be used to scare the audience and build suspense, you can't clearly see the person, or there expression, but you know they're there.
