OutBreak

Yes at parts however the time of day it’s filmed doesn’t add to the horror theme.

Does it have a range of shots?
yes
Is it well framed?
At times however most of the film framing doesn’t seen to be acknowledged.

Does it follow? Or break continuity?

Through most of the film it has good continuity however when the couple have walk down the stairs and under the bridge then next shot they are again on the stairs about to walk under the bridge which breaks the continuity

Does it have well used mise-en-scene?

Yes props are used and the setting fits the film well

Has sound been used to create fear? How?

In some parts yes as the zombies growl however there is only a small amount of music and they could have added more to create tension as there was no dialogue it sounded as if it was lacking in sound.
