In the horror trailer 'Grave Encounters', a variety of shots can be identified such as wide, long and establishing shots which set the scene to enable the audience to have clear understanding of where the events to come will be taking place. The camera angles used are high and low angles to show the vulnerability of the characters and the power of the ghost/supernatural being.
The majority of the camera movements are hand held and tracking shots to make the events being shown appear 'more believable' in order to shock and instill greater fear into the audience. This was also done to give the audience a close insight on what the characters can see and how they are feeling through out; almost as if we are there with them. There were also a lot of unexpected quick pans and zooms to represent chaos and instability which in turn builds tension and suspense - again to scare the audience. The camera movement is also very subjective in order to treat viewers as participants and create a connection between the two.
