Camera   movements is very important .  Watching the opening sequence I have  emphasis lots of camera movements  for instance: a very fast speed  in the middle of the sequence .  This fast speed emphasis      a sense of terror , and almost make you fill like you are  part of the  scene as it's driving you  through different places.  Sound  Sounds plays  a big role in every type...
