Cinematic Language

 The filmmakers use cinematic language to manipulate viewers' reaction to the film by using an editing technique that smooths the transition between shots portraying a single action from different camera angles. By doing this the filmmaker gives dramatic looks from the scene and creates major suspense. For example, when the mysterious monster shows its demonic features in one of the shots, it causes the viewers to be suspenseful and scared even, but the creature quickly leaves the shot before viewers have a chance to even decipher what they just saw. The filmmaker also uses the scenery to make the viewers feel almost as if they have to focus their attention on the main actor. Even though I cannot understand what the actor was saying, without even having to read the subtitles, you can see by the expressions the actor makes, that the actor is scared and in distress. She also goes through the phase of confusion almost mimicking what the audience should or maybe feeling in that very moment. Finally, the director cuts to the disappearing victims and almost immediately cuts back to the actor to display her reaction. Same as with the cuts to the blood. The filmmaker strategically places these shots in the film to control the audience's feelings and emotions during the entire film.
