  Camera Angles Common camera angles in Thrillers are high angles, close ups, and tilted. The high angle makes the actor in the camera look vulnerable. Close-ups shows really what the actor's reaction is and how they are feeling. A tilted shot adds dramatic tension to the scene.  Camera Shots Long shots and over the shoulder shots are commonly used in Thrillers.
