Camera angles in a Horror Trailer

Slanted angle: This is where the camera tilts around the subject. It is often used in horror films to create tension and disorientation, it is mostly used in dramatic scenes to draw the user in and creates distortion to the scene.

Establishing shot: This is when the setting fills up the frame, it is mostly used in the beginning of a scene to emphasize the setting, for example if there is a haunted house in the film, an establishing shot would show the house at the beginning to build tension and draw the audience into the set.

Close up/ Extreme Close up: This is when the camera closes up on the subject, it is used in horror films to make the audience feel uncomfortable as to get close to someones face is unnerving.

 

Point of view: This is when the camera is from someones point of view, the camera can see exactly what they see. this is mostly used in horror films to place the audience in the characters shoes, giving the shot a more realistic feel.
