The first twenty five shots of twilight are basically close ups, pan and tilt shots for chasing a deer in the forest. The director uses close ups to intensify the chase and each close up is around a second or two to make things faster and more suspenseful. Also because the camera, i dont think, can catch up fast enough with the deer for over 2 seconds. The first few shots are medium shots and each shot is around 5 seconds tilting the view of the forest and the sky. The director does this to establish a setting which is of course the forest, where the vampires inhabit.
