Summary: After watching all these clips from films helped me get a better understanding on how to make mine. I now know how to properly add enough suspense where it is not to excessive but just enough to leave the viewers guessing and many thoughts going through their head. Camera angles is also a big part in films because it changes the way you can see things. For example zoomed in shots on characters faces can help show their true emotions through facial expressions. After watching these could make me wanna change my genre ideas.

Initial Storyboard
