One of my favorite horror movies, "The Conjuring" is a great example of excellent cinematography and Mise-En-Scene. Although quite stereotypical for a horror movie (family moves into a haunted house) With a familar plot line, it still maintains a certain uncertain horror, keeping the viewer interested. The positioning and moving of the camera kept the viewer on edge the entire movie and by using actual effects rather than effects created on a computer the moment felt scarier than ever. By using Mise-En-Scene you could pause the movie at any moment and see that the crows were flying in a certain angle, the cellar was positioned in a certain way facing the doll, and the house was painted a certain color. One of my favorite comedy movies is Mean Girls. It features an excellent example of montage because with Cady and Regina are on the phone side by side you can see that by Regina's body language she isn't as interested and as invested in the conversation as much as Cady is.
