1. Shows some part of the subject in more detail while
still giving an impression of the whole subject.
In thrillers this allows the viewer to make sense of the actors
emotion/expression whilst also examining the background.

2. A certain feature or
part of the subject
takes up the whole
frame.
In thrillers this allows the audience to concentrate only on
either a face or specific detail of mise en scène. This shot
magnifies objects and therefore allows the audience to enter
the mind of a character.

3. Looking from behind a person at the
subject.
In thrillers, this is usually used
when a figure is stood behind a
victim or behind someone that is
not aware of the other actors
presence.

4. The Extreme close up gets right in and shows extreme detail.
In thrillers an extreme close up of the face would
usually show the eyes or mouth without any
background. The shot is often used to create a
dramatic effect.
