Research and planning- Watching 'House of Wax' horror film

To get some ideas of editing and cinematography this week on Tuesday when I had my free lessons I watched a horror movie called 'House of wax' to be able to get some ideas of shots and editing for our horror film trailer. The film is about a couple of teenagers who want to go somewhere but then there car breaks down so they have to stop at a nearby place, next to some wood place, where they identify a unusual smell which leads them on to finding a serial killer which has a twin, and they do the murdering together one by one and turn the people into wax in their own house called 'House of wax'.
I have seen that the film uses quite a lot of tight framing to be able to show the facial expressions of the teenagers also it uses quite a lot of closeups for the same reason. The lighting is mainly low key so people are notified that this is a horror film that they are watching. The location is very good because its in a park and also sometimes in a house, so they are quite simple. The film gave me quite a lot of jumpy feelings which was a thing that I liked about it, the film uses blood and horrific killing of some teenagers. Another thing I liked about it is that the whole horror film worked. it scared me and using blood, knife, spanners and arrows to kill made it seem like a really interesting horror film.
