"Perfect Escape" is not perfect, there are some shoddy traces everywhere, and as a suspense film, it can't justify itself very well. The director uses editing to avoid some time constraints. In addition, there are some common methods of thriller (or horror film):
1. In the 39th minute of the film, use the people talking in the distance as a perspective. The subject person suddenly appeared at the near end of the screen, backlit, mysterious, flashed by, and accompanied by a moment of strange music. It is also often seen in torture movies.
2. Immediately point the camera at the three leading actors, use music to match the atmosphere, and the things outside the screen give the audience some mysterious feeling
Through editing (front and back?), the camera is aimed at the front, and the picture is merged into the protagonist to show the contextual connection. The remote subject is full of mystery and can be used for sudden mutation in monster films.
3. In the 50th minute, after the heroine and her companions spoke, there was silence at first. Use a small depth of field to create a sense of mystery behind the heroine, and the same method can be used to leave the screen blank. I think the method of the former is to make the composition of the picture more natural and enhance the scaring effect (because you don't know whether the branches or some deadly weapons are behind). Editing is used here, the next frame immediately goes to a short focal (?) shot.
5. At 1 hour and 30 minutes, Gina looked out on the cliff alone and called for help. At this point a voiceover—not in between—appears. At this point, the audience will be transferred to what the voice-over is, and even if they don't know what's going on, there will be a feeling of "67".
Next, the shot was given to the sea, in order to give the audience a better understanding of the reason for the over-the-speech.
6. At 1 hour and 37 minutes, the same method is still used: voiceover + screen explanation (each lens also slightly narrows the distance from the subject)
