Inspirations from other films

Whilst watching thriller films such as Scream and The Strangers, I was inspired by the fact that the killers identity was always a mystery throughout the film. This is conventional to a thriller film as the killer/killers face was never known by the audience creating suspense and anticipation about who is behind the mask and why he is doing this to the victims.
Furthermore, In Scream there is various camera angles used to make the scene have a certain effect. With the use of close up on the victims face which helps the audience to understand how she is feeling. During this particular scene, she was feeling venerable and worried as killer is talking to her on the phone. This then creates tension for the audience.
