Camera Angles
Establishing shot- sets an eerie mood.
Tracking shot- can show someone being followed.
Close up- used to show the reactions of the characters and to build suspense
Tilt- can signify a supernatural being entering the screen
Over the shoulder- builds tension, can sometimes signify someone standing behind a person.
Mis-En-Scene
Common costumes are pajamas and casual wear as actress is mainly in her apartment the whole time
Common lighting is either dark outside with dim inside lighting, or light outside and dark/ no lights on the inside. All of this accompanied by yellow lighting in some scenes
Common actors used are actors who have been in other action movies, slight thriller movies, if any
Common makeup is usually no makeup as the main actress is in her own apartment watching everything happen, along with some sweat
Common props used are pills and a camera
Common setting was in main actress apartment building.
Common Sound
Some common sounds used in the film was ambient sound, diegetic sound, sound bridge, and voiceover
Common Editing
Jump cuts, shot/reverse shot, and eyeline match are commonly used throughout the film.
Some elements that The Woman in the Window had that I liked were the lighting and camera angles. It included many types of camera angles that were common throughout the genre and the lighting created a sense of suspensefulness.
Some elements of the movie that did not appeal to me regarding the thriller genre were that some of the camera angles did not match up with some scenes in the film to create that suspense.
