Consider the following case study: Skills #Creativity
You’re making a thriller scene where the main character, Sangeeta, is stuck in a spooky house trying to find a
key before the bad guy shows up. Your job is to use camera movements to make the scene more suspenseful.
Answer the following questions:

• Panning: When Sangeeta enters the house, how would you use panning to show the big, empty space and
make it feel creepy? Explain which way the camera would move and how fast.

• Zooming: Sangeeta finds an old record player. How could you use zooming to make viewers focus on something
important hidden in the record player?

small or weak. On the other hand, characters are made to appear huge and powerful by using low-angle
shots.
