Student Research - Analysis - Halloween

Camera - Handheld, Point of View shot puts the audience in the mind of the character walking around and so they can empathise with them. Long Shot of exterior of house shows to the audience the setting. One continuos shot as person walks around and inside the house builds up tension. Close up on the kitchen drawer as character pulls out a knife. Medium Close Up of clown mask on the floor as character reaches out from behind the camera and puts it on. Audience can then only see through the eyes of the mask as if they are wearing it. Camera then switches so it is no longer point of view to a Medium Close Up of a young boy in a clown outfit holding the knife. Brings shock as we find out the murderer is actually a child. Camera then pans out to an Extreme Long Shot of the house and people outside it so audience are left to contemplate the events that have just happened.

Genre - Horror/Thriller
