1.Off kilter shot is when you hold the camera at a slightly diagonal angle,this way it looks odd.This will make the audience feel as if something bad is about to happen or something isn't right.
2.Having a close up on the weapon is important because this will give the audience an idea of how the victim is going to die throughout the film.
3.Over the shoulder shot of the killer is a good shot because we can see things from his/hers point of view and it can still be mysterious to who the killer is. Sometimes the audience can feel as if they are the killer because the shot is so close to the killer rather than the victim.
4.Having a close up on someones face can either be a close up or an extreme close up. Its usually the victims face that they use to do this shot because it shows his/her actions and how scared they are, this shot shows fear.

5.The 360 degree shot will show isolation/location and fear. This is because by doing a 360 degree angle it can show that the victim is scared and feels isolated because they just stand there with fear on their face.

6.A high angle shows the victims vulnerability, this shot can be used with any type of filming during horror but it works best when you use it on the victim because it shows that the victim has no power and feels weak.
7.You need to make sure you can use a good angle when killing someone in horror because you want to make it as realistic as possible,but when filming it you need to be sensible depending on what weapon you decide to use. You need to think of the different angles you can use in the way that you can hide the sharpest bit of the weapon. Here the victim is being killed with a scythe.
8. The low angle shot shows the power the killer has over the victim in the scene because if the victim is on the floor and the killer is stood up, this shows that the killer has more power over the victim than the victim does over the killer.
9.You need a shot where the victim and killer are in the same scene and the victim crawls away as the killer approaches and appears into the scene. This shows how scared the victim is and makes the audience feel shocked.
10.Finally,you need to have the power of suggestion, perhaps a shot of a silhouette to foreshadow or suggest what is about to happen.
