4. INSPIRATIONS
The film paranormal activity is what the film is
based around. This is because the film is centred
about investigations almost like thriller horror. The
most important factor as to why paranormal
activity is one of the inspirations is due to the occult
markings which tare found once they break into the
house. It also links to the fact that young people
aren’t following the socially acceptable things such
as drinking but in the case of paranormal activity
they are interfering with the unknown.
5. Theme
• Peer Pressure – This theme is very evident throughout the
film/trailer. This is due to the fact that Alex’s friends are
trying to persuade her into indulging in activities such as
underage drinking and smoking which society may not
condone.
• Revenge – This is a more superficial theme as it is presented as
though society is somewhat punishing Alex’s friends for taking
part in such activities.
6. Makeup & Props
• White contact lenses will used during the making of
the film trailer. This emphasises the theme of
possession in the teenagers. This also represents the
fact that the demon who possesses the teenagers will
not be shown but it will become evident in the NVC of
the characters.
7. Makeup & Props
• A lot of fake blood will be used during the making of
this trailer as there will be a lot of dragging and
scratching showing the physical terror the characters
will be going through along with the emotional.
