Camera Shots
The amount of shot variety in slasher films has
increased through the years of the genre being highly shown and being a popular
genre. The pace of the fast editing to create more suspense and no long takes
gives the slasher films a better effect of scaring the audience or showing an
intense chase or killing scene when you follow the "killer's" point
of view or the "victim's" point of view. However the older slasher
films such as Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho showed some signs of shot variety for
example from the famous shower scene. This is developed so much into films such
as the Nightmare on Elm Street remake in 2010 by Samuel Bayer, it is show
throughout from the dreams to real life,this all contributes to the verisimilitude making it more realistic.
An example of this is Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" which used fast paced editing during the famous shower scene where the killer brutally stabs his victim to death.
