Establishing shot we find out shes alone in a house in the middle of no where at night.
Wind through trees and swing typical way to set the scene for a horror movie.
Tracking shot follows her around the house when she's on the phone makes audience feel like they are watching/following her.
Reaction shot, zooms to her face to show her reaction to the phone call
Sharp camera movements to put you in the womans perspective of looking outside
Camera stays still while the woman walks off then the camera focuses on background, often used in horror films to create suspense usually shows the killer before the victim see's them so the auidence is involved.
Camera reverts back to popcorn its begining to burn which could signify her life being in danger
Camera shots from behind collums in the house adds to the perspective of the killer
Camera has been relatively far away from her face but when he gets move aggressive on the phone the camera zooms into to show her fear.
The camera tracks forwards towards her as she walks backwards emphasizing her fear and vulnerability and that the killer is approaching her and she can't stop it.
Camera follows her around as she runs puts the audience in the perspective of the killer
Camera from outside which makes us feel like were looking in on her killers perspective again
When she runs from the killer the camera is far away with her running to it gives the auidence anticipation if she's going to get away or not
After she's stabbed the camera is at her eye level and tilts to distort the audience and put them in the victims place.
When shes finally killed the camera is from her perspective again.
The camera move forward in a jaggered motion towards her hanging body again disorts the audience.
