One Missed Call camera and film techniques

Some of the techniques used in this film would be good examples to use in thrillers, because in this film, everytime there is a missed call from the "things" that are haunting the characters, they hear themselves "die"on the speakerphone.  This is a good effect to use in thriller films as it adds a bit of suspense and confusion as it gets the audience to wonder who is calling them, what the noise is, and if/or they already know what it is, then they'd expect trouble and would brace themselves for it.

They also use effects in the film to cause phsycological fear as well as there is an essence of 'you're always being watched' and that everywhere you look, the "thing" is looking back at you and is following you.

One of the camera and movie effects used was where the character drives past the window to see a child looking at her.  As she drives on, the "thing" appears behind the child.  This is a good effect and also technique to use as it shoots the audience with tension as to why it is there, what will happen, and it also triggers that phsycological fear again as you see the ghost again.

There are a lot of camera angles used in the film and in these parts of the film, such as: - Shot reverse shots, close ups, pans, tracking shots, worms eye view, over the shoulder and high camera shots.  These are all used as a purpose to keep the action going/keep the thrill or suspense going, show fear or to make someone or something look bigger and more powerful that anything/one else in the film.  The pan/tracking shot used for when the character was driving past the building may be used to supply thrill to the audience as you do not see the ghost until she is almost horizontal to the window and that the child and the ghost follows and tracks her movements as she drives past. The over the shoulder shot is used near the end of these clips where the ghost comes in to attack her, this over the shoulder shot is used as the ghost approaches which is used to see what it is like from the ghost's point of view or behind it.  This would be used to make the audiences heart pump fast and build up suspense and tension.
