Example 2 - Paranormal Activity


Paranormal Activity 3 - Horror/ thriller

I have decided to use paranormal activity 3 because of the camera that has been used and that it is still very scary with little effects done post filming. The thing that makes this film scarier is the way that it has all be filmed on a hand held camera, which makes it very relatable for the viewer, and more scarier because it is filmed in a place thought of as a safe house and a place that is of comfort to the owner.

I like this picture because of the location; it has been hot on a normal, maybe under average quality. It looks like a normal family scene which fits to the story line very well.


This shot is nice from the way an effect of the camera going fuzzy and crackling when something supernatural is happening, which makes it obvious to the viewer to what is going on.



I also like this shot because of the camera being like a CCTV one, it also looks like a normal family scene. This could be very effective if there is some scary music in the back round to add to the scene.


Also in the trailer, it flashes to a scary image of a girl very close to the camera, this could be very good and add to the scariness of the film, because the viewers wouldn't really know what they are seeing.


Also having the actor narrating to the camera adds to the way you feel that she is speaking to you, and you feel for the character more and feel like you can to relate to them a little better, this would be good to add in the opening sequence to make you feel like you belong to the character as soon as the movie starts.


What I also like about the title when they have it on the screen is the way that even the name flickers like something bad is about to happen which I makes the viewer know right away that it will be a creepy film.
