Reaction to the Film

-Low Angle shot: Low angle shot was used right from the beginning, looking up at Hill House, while the lights were low-key to pronounce shadows and show that Hill House was a dark place.
-High angle shot: When the companion hanged herself, while looking down, you see the bottom of the staircase, and the companion's legs as they angle high in the air.
-Bird's eye shot was used to vertically look down on the spiral staircase as the camera spins, as if going down the staircase.
-When Eleanor first sees Hill House, the camera uses low angle shot once again to look up on the house as a threatening object after she warns herself that it's her last chance to get away.
-Birds eye shot is used afterwards, as if Hill House looks down on her small car.
-When Eleanor enters the house, the camera pans, to show the inside of the house through Eleanor's eyes.
-When Dr. Montague goes up the rusty staircase to get Eleanor, Eleanor seeings Ms. Montague on the ceiling (probably in the attic) and screams. Then the scene fades into blackness for a few seconds.
