What’s your character’s point of view? A killer POV will help you murder that perspective.
One of my favorite thing about the horror genre is that it has its own visual language. There’s something special when you can tell a genre by the shots and camera angles incorporated by the director and cinematographer.
The shot that indicates horror to me is the point of view. There are so many famous versions of this shot, when we slip into the eyes of the killer and size our subject up. They are very popular in slasher films.
Today, I want to talk about how you can use these shots in your own work. We’ll talk about how to shoot a killer POV, a killer’s POV, and look at examples of both in film and television.
Sound good? Let’s get started.
