Camera Shots and Angles

I learnt how the camera is used to create meaning in horror films, from my last post I know a few techniques and whey they are used for example:

Crosscutting for suspense sequences
Faster cutting for violent action
Point of view shots for those being watched
Hand held shots for chase scenes

But I have also learnt about high and low angles and their purposes.

High angles in horror movies which are usually used to portray victims as being vulnerable and powerless

Low angles are usually done to make the hero or villain look powerfull and in control of the situation
