Camera techniques and shots - Thriller research

1. This is a camera shot which is used to make the audience possibly feel disorientated and/or possibly confused and wondering/waiting for the focus to straighten out to see what it actually is.

2. This shot is a close up which is a good technique/shot to use as it would let/help the audience see a vital piece of evidence in the film/or see it through the character's eyes which adds/produces feeling and suspense to the film

3. The 'Worm's Eye' shot is mostly used to represent power or importance of a character - for example here; Jigsaw is a powerful character as he controls the games in the movie series 'Saw', this shot is possibly used either to represent his power, or to create fear of him that he is a taller and stronger person than you.

4. This camera technique is using the 'Rule of Thirds' as it has the importance of the part of the film at the front - i.e. The Monks in this, and the less important but yet still to slightly grab your attention at the back, which is the moon.  This technique is used as it creates an importance factor in the film and can be used in thrillers if it wants to create an effect of suspense, i.e. - Someone holding a knife and the background may be irrelevant or not as important, which also helps grab the audiences attention too.

5. This camera method which is a mixture of long shots and also the 'rule of thirds' creates a tension or suspense in the film as the technique that the character may be using i.e. slow motion movements, may slow the film down, causing tension or suspense to the audience and if any sudden action happened, the audience would jump and it makes the film more exciting.
