Example Horror Shot

This is an example of a horror shot (shot my myself). It is an extreme close up (ECU) of a face, more specifically a subject's eye. This type of shot is used in horror to limit the information of a scene. You are unsure what is happened to or around the subject, because you can only see one feature in great detail. You cannot accurately determine the facial expression of the character. For instance, this shot in particular only shows a portion of someone's face, which can mean more than one thing. Are they scared? Are they surprised? What's happening? Are they even alive? All of these questions and more are asked until they find out more information.
