The four techniques that I noticed mostly in “The Monkey’s Paw” were music, lighting, close-up shots, and high angle shots. The music made the film suspenseful, and it showed a bit of foreshadowing as well. When the lighting went dark, it made the film mysterious. We were able to see the shadow of the creature when it knocked on the door. In the beginning, there was a close-up shot of of Mr. and Mrs. White. In this shot, we were able to see Mr.White’s expression when Mrs.White told her husband that it was his fault they had lost their child. We were also able to see their facial expressions. Lastly, a high angle shot was shown at the end of the film which made us see the setting around.
