2. The trailer cuts in like a video recording would, which is part of an
editing inset.
We are then met with the person with the camera saying “Say hi to the
camera Katie” this end of this is edited to kind of echo as it takes us back
to a flashback/ forward of the first film (if you’ve seen it) which lets us
know in relation of the characters who is who. It is a reminder of how the
last movie ended and lets us know it will be going backwards in time to
when the main characters from the first were little.
A wipe is used to again show a pervious part of the second film.
Wide shot with dates, time and the year, lets the audience know,they
haven’t seen it before that its going to be a recording type of movie this
is more terrifying because people believe that the camera can see more
of the paranormal side of life.
The recording fuzz is seen again and then suddenly the non-diegetic
noise of a camcorder would makes stops and the inset goes black and
fades back in. this is to tell the audience that have gone back to the
original 1988 video recording.
Katie, the little child is on a close up shot and shows that she’s looking a
bit demented and scary when he asks the girl to give him a wave, whilst
this is happening the fuzz and the inset comes back slightly. This
suggests that she has some sort of paranormal energy around her that is
effecting the camera.
3. As the woman gets dragged a back inset is used as well as the diegetic
sound of the woman screaming and the inset of the fuzzy camera screen
noise (non-diegetic) another inset of what a TV does when it is out of
tune is shown, this suggests to the audience that have not watched the
other movies that it didn’t end well for this character. It is also quite
jumpy therefore making the audience terrified. then go back into when
they were younger, suggesting the storyline is going to be how it all
started. A zoom in is used whilst the picture fades into back. The appears
the text “This October” being in capital letters stands out to the
audience.
Fades in to a close up picture of a burnt photography and a voiceove
saying “what happened when we were little?” reply from the other si
“I don’t remember anything” again the fuzzy camera inset.
Fade into black inset with text appearing “Discover
Fuzz inset in, then the image of the two sisters mid-shot, fuzz out. Could
represent a something between them and suggests that something bad
is going to happen to one or both of them.
and then straight cuts into a past memory
recoding then another inset saying
4. Jumps to them as adults and Katie talking, like an interview. Mid shot
used.
Fuzzy inset. Back to when they were children. Diegetic fuzzing sound
whilst we are shown a close up with strange framing of one of the girls
lighting a candle.
Fuzzy inset, then its editied into night mode (camcorder) the close up of
the girls face makes us as an audience feel sorry for what the girl is
experiencing at that moment in time. She is terrified of what is currently
happening to her.
5. After this it fades into black inset with text appearing, the non-diegetic
music then echo’s again.
Another inset, special edit which then takes us again back to the
previous movie with a little non diegetic fuzz indicating it has gone back.
This movies is number 2, showing the scene of Katie holding a baby.
Those who have watched the other films know what has gone on
whereas it leads the audience who haven’t to go and maybe watch the
other before watching this one a clever tactic to increase their viewing
rates of the other released movies.
Voiceover “the more we paid attention
to it” this then snaps back to when they
were younger. Mid shot of the 2 girls,
scary sudden a flickering fuzziness to
keep the audience on edge.
Black inset
Voiceover “the worse it got” fuzzing
inset, followed by a diegetic
screaming of a female. A close up
of a female them pops up out of
nowhere, looking possessed this is
definitely used to make the
audience scared or terrified.
Fuzzy insets go wild again like the
paranormal interference of what we
have just seen.
6. We then straight cut straight into a close up of one of the sisters setting
up the camera in the bath room. This suggests to the audience that they
are doing something that they shouldn’t be doing. After this we then see
the girls looking into the mirror about to do bloody mary. This
automatically confirms to the audience that doing this is going to go
very wrong and could result in a lot more harsh paranormal activity for
the girls.
Lights get turned out, indicating that something is about to happen,
keeps the audience on edge. The girls then recite the “Blood Mary”
chant
We then hear slight non diegetic heart palpitations and then the other
sister jokingly lights up the torch and screams into it.
Frantic diegetic screaming occurs. Goes to black again as the girl turns
off the property of the torch.
Girls exit the room causing the light to
come through into the bath room, a
silhouette of an adult figure is then
standing to the side of the camera.
Heart palpitations then start slightly
again and a screeching non diegetic
sound occurs to emphasise the
severity of what the girls have just
summoned. Goes into a black inset
with the non-diegetic sound still
creepily playing.
Title of the movie then stands out to
you. Fuzzy inset, the number 3 is
shown some superstitious people
believe it to be unlucky
