STALKER SHOTS: Students in Mr. Rosko's Film Analysis class are discussing the horror trope of a 'stalker shot'.
Stalker Shot is when the camera reveals someone stalking another character without their knowledge. The character and the audience have no idea there's a stalker in the area, but only the audience will be aware of them once the camera reveals their presence.
Like Halloween (a classic) or The Strangers (a newer example).
So of course… the Films Analysis class should each have to create one of their own to prove to me they actually get it (along with a discussion of the rule of thirds and balance).
Enjoy the student's 'stalker shots'.
