Ideas from my storyboard

To conform to my genre of Thriller and my subgenre horror i have selected particular ideas of camera shots/angles, editing techniques, sound and mise en scene.
For my establishing shot i may include a long low angle shot of a house, to convey isolation and intimidation, suggesting the audience is to feel inferior to the house.
A particular shot i wanted to use was a tracking shot through a hallway into another room. I would use this to convey a sense of intrusion, putting the audience in the questioning position. What went on here? Whats wrong with this place? And, combined with low key lighting and sound FX of a large breath, the sense of intrusion is maintained.
I would use CU to reveal certain aspects to the storyline/characters. For example, a CU on a characters' hands. Through the body language could reveal desperation, vulnerability and discomfort.
An editing technique that i would use is a fade. For example, a fade from the long low angle shot of a house to a MS of the house. This would convey a real sense of intrusion, the idea of a building tension perhaps.
Some examples of mise en scene that i would use is low key lighting. The low key lighting conveys mystery and a dark atmousphere.
