Scream

Scream

We know it’s a horror film because the first thing we see is the title flashing on the screen with a loud crash and screaming. The phone rings and it’s a mysterious number, suspense music is playing in the background. It’s night time therefore its very dark, dim lighting is in the house she flashes the lights on the porch to look If anyone is lurking out there.  She starts to flirt before she realizes he wants to kill her, after the 3^rd phone call she starts walking around locking doors therefore we know that she feels threatened, even though we don’t see the killer we know he is lurking around somewhere. Once she is on edge she starts to scream at everything especially when the phone starts to ring. The camera shots are mostly close ups and mid shots to see her expression, we experience what she was experiencing; we expect something to pop up behind her and are on edge.
