How is the camera used to create/ add meaning?

We looked at some images that were taken from horror movies e.g. posters, and we looked closely at the details in it e.g. shot type. As a group we discussed the main camera angles used in filming and explored how camera movements can be used in horror movies. We found that the common camera shots used were; close-up’s, long-shot’s, over-the-shoulder shots, and extreme close-up’s. The common angle types we recognised were; birds-eye-view shot’s, worm’s-eye-view shots, canted, high and low angle shots. This was a helpful activity as it gave me a better idea about what I could incorporate into my horror movie trailer.
