The first shot used in the film is a pan of the car park. This functions as the establishing shot, revealing that the film is in fact set in a car park.
I also used various low angle shots, on the zombie in particular. I used this to add a sense of mystery to the beginning of the film, building dramatic tension as the audience wonders what it is that is stalking the couple.
I used close ups, especially on the zombie's faces, as a method of shocking the audience and revealing the details of their terrifying faces.
A point of view shot was used, or rather a zombie-shot. The camera took the perspective of the zombie, following the couple and making an attack on the lead male. This shot continues the concept of mystery, as the audience are unaware of what it is that they are seeing through the eyes of. I feel it is also a common convention that I have followed within the horror genre. An American Werewolf In London is a perfect example of this.
I used an over-shoulder shot when the zombie was first on camera. The zombie was seen directly over the shoulder of my lead characters, allowing the audience to see it from their perspective, as well as creating the sense that they are with the characters, creating more feelings of fear.
I used a worms-eye shot to show the zombie chasing after the couple. The reason I did this was to make the audience feel insignificant compared to the creature, creating a sense of further weakness and fear of him.
