We have decided to go for a horror film due to our questionaire results showing that horrro was the one people wanted to see. Due to this I have decided to analyse a very successful horror movie Paranormal Activity.
The camera angles and the idea of the self filming puts a great eerie, unexpected feel on the viewer. You dont quite feel safe as it feels like you're actually there behind the camera experiencing it. This constantly puts you on edge addign to the horror effect. The lighting is mostly filmed in the dark and that is where all of the scary bits occur. This is because the dark is a connotation for scary, bad or evil etc. Also they have film it in a cinema to show other peoples reactiosn to it and to make you feel as if you are sat there experiencing it with them building up the whole atmosphere. Also it involves nightmares and a bed which is where nightmares occur. Also the sound plays a big part of setting the genre because of its fast paced loud deep bangs and beats makes it very scary and anticipating.
