Halloween (1978)

Last week during my media lessons, I have been looking with my class at the move Halloween (1978) and how the director uses camera angles and shots for specific reasons to make scenes scary. What I found different about this horror movie is that the first scene is from a point of view shot of the killer and that he is walking around and in the house. Then as the killer is about to murder the girl who so is the killers sister, puts on a mask which can see through as it is a point of view which makes me feel uncomfortable seeing as the audience. In the end of the scene we find out that the killer is a young boy who was the girl who he just killed little brother. Due to editing I found that after finding out that a young boy was a killer, the pace of the point of view shot was slow which seemed to me as an viewer that a child does not know what he is exactly doing and if he is doing something wrong whereas a normal killer would be rushing and running with tension.

Here is the trailer to the movie:
