- 3. MOTIFS The aspects ofthis film being a horror film is that people die to demons and also there are bloody murders and etc. This film’s primary genre is supposed to be a horror and they included all the aspects of psychological thriller by using demons and a doll which involves paranormal activities. These characteristics are commonly used in other films of this genre as the Mia is the only one who experiences these events and makes her sound crazy when she tells other people (used in other films).
- 4. AIM A pigtailed dollpossessed by a demon threatens a young couple with a new born baby. Annabelle is based on a true event as the Annabelle doll already exist in real life and is a spin off on the film ‘the conjuring’. Their aim is to re-create the supposed events that happened in real life but over exaggerate it for entertainment value. Also they put a plot with in the film to enhance the physiological
- 5. FINAL GIRL The finalgirl in this film is identified as being innocent and weak. However she manages not to be killed throughout the film. Whilst all these crazy events are happening to her, her husband is never their to witness these events or anyone else. People see her as crazy as she is the only person to witness these paranormal activities that are occurring. The fact that she is also pregnant makes her even more venerable but typically in these types of films she surprisingly lives. Annabelle Wallis plays Mia (final girl) is Presented as being very venerable and also very attractive to also express her vulnerability as she is being objectified as being a typical house wife, with the husband going out to work.
- 6. PSYCHOLOGICAL The film hasaspects of a psychological film as well as a horror. This is because the films messes with your mind and especially Mia’s. She is antagonised through out the whole film through the use of the doll. Her mind is severely messed, as the demons constantly bully her when she is all alone as she is supposed to offer up a soul. Also there are scenes where the demons appear and disappear which messes with Mia’s mind as well as the audiences.
- 7. HORROR Annabelle is typicalhorror film as it incudes the aspects of paranormal activity, murder, and torture. Mia is mentally tortured through out the film. Her neighbours at the start of the film die a bloody death which is the first event of this horror film. Also Mia and her husband were subject to many attacks of the demon but the husband was only involved in the first incident. The priest was also attacked to increase the horror aspect of the film giving the audience a fright factor.
- 8. POV In This isbecause the film is designed to scare Annabelle the point of view shot is not used very often compared to other films of its genre. The point of view shot is used in the perspective of Mia and not the antagonist which is unusually because normally horror films implement a point of view shot, in the perspective of the antagonist. However using the POV in the perspective of Mia makes the film scarier as you do not know whether a demon is doing to try and attack which makes it that much scarier when they do.
