Obsession (1976)

This trailer from the 1976 film, 'Obsession' frequently uses an extreme close-up on the eyes of characters. This technique can relate to how the boy focuses all his attention on the girl and in return, how she focuses all of her's on him. This is reflected in the use of the shot as the camera is focusing on one particular thing. 

The trailer of the film attempts to create suspense and tension with the use of music and with the shots used. Our short film won't use this style as we feel it doesn't work with the plot as the characters aren't trying to be intimidating or threatening, despite their fixation with each other. As the male character in this film is obsessed with an incident, not a person, his behaviour is erratic and incautious, whereas the male character in our film is careful and takes his time. This is much more chilling characteristic we wish to incorporate.
