- The close ups of objects may be used to not give too much away about what's about to happen

- The close ups of the face may be used to show emotion through facial expressions

- The close ups of the knife may be used to intensify the scared feeling

- The mid shots may be used to capture the scene but not draw attention away from the character

- The shallow focus may be used to emphasize the character and not the surrounding environment

- The zoom in shot may be used to draw attention to the knife and add suspense

- The low angle shot may be used to show that the villain is "stronger" and in charge
