The camera angle when Wendy is reading the typewriter is a low angle shot looking up. Then a POV shot is used as she looks at what Jack has been doing followed by a zoom shot which is used as she realises what he has been doing.
2) How do they make us feel?
The use of a low angle shot allows the audience to see Wendy's facial expressions as she reads the typewriter. We know from this shot that what she is reading is shocking her simply due to the expression on her face which makes us curious as to what she is reading. This shot also allows us to see everything she does and makes us feel like part of the action.
3) Where does the zoom in take place, and what is its effect?
A mid shot is used to begin followed by a zoom to a close up shot as Wendy is staring at the typewriter looking at what Jack has done. This shot is used in order to reflect the shock and horror that she is feeling as she realises what her husband has been doing, a person who she thought she knew well. It also shows the audience that Wendy is not aware of anything surrounding her, she is only focused on the typewriter.
4) What camera shots are used as Jack moves into the room?
A tracking shot is used to show Jack entering the room. An over the shoulder shot is then used to show the audience that Wendy is being watched and emphasises the fact that he is behind her and that she is unaware of this.
5) How does this make us feel?
The over the shoulder shot makes the audience feel the tension building up as Jack creeps up on his wife. The fact that she is unaware of this makes us worry and feel scared for her. The audience can also in some way sympathise with Wendy as her husband is showing such unusual behaviour.
