We like the variety of camera shots and angles, such as the candid angle, which is unique and rarely seen. Also, we'd like to use jump-cut editing to create a fast or slow-paced film. We also like the shrieking sound effect and would incorporate it into our film.
They use props such as fake weapons that we would avoid. The use of fictitious weapons does not appeal to us and appears to be rather inappropriate. In addition, we do not want to include fake blood makeup. It's too gory for us.
