The cinematography of the film also reflects the methods used by directors of the time. For instance, West often has the camera zoom in on characters (rather than dolly in as is now common in film), a technique that was often used in horror films of the 19 and continued to be used into the 19. Other stylistic signifiers include opening credits (which became less common in films in the decades after the 19) in yellow font accompanied by freeze-frames and the closing credits being played over a still image of the final scene.
