Film trailer - Camera angle ideas

I want to use a my wide angle lens to do a 360 degree angle shot containing the full body of the actress during my opening scene to make it clear to the viewer who the main character of this movie is. In addition to that I want to use this feature as an opening scene to show the full mis en scene in the form of the actress' outfit and the setting in the background being clear due to the wide angle lens allowing a landscape shot whilst the main focus of the shot is the character.

Further into the trailer I want extreme close ups of the actress' eyes possibly including a macro focus of a tear, showing emotion visually rather than verbally.

Close ups of the necklace as the actress notices it and picks it up. I want this to be a close up because it is important for the narrative of the trailer. The necklace being the main reason for the film being a thriller/horror as it holds troubled spirits.

Over the shoulder shots will be used to show the character holding the necklace and investigating it to hint that something is not quite right. Plot hinting.
