3. The clip begins with hearing light
eerie music and also screaming
which indicates that we know that
someone is already possessed
and intrigues the audience.
The title credits roll on screen
slowly which shows the pace of the
film and hearing the girl scream
and someone shout her name
Emily backs this up as we know
the exorcism wonโt happen for a
while., showing the film will be
dragged out with certain issues
which make it a horror.
There is an establishing shot of the
house showing that it is in the
middle of nowhere which boosts
the horror as it shows that when
there will be a scary problem no
one will be there to help, making
you want to see what will happen
and how it is going to end without
help.
4. A single person enters the house
which is scary as it makes you
think if they know what theyโre
going into, especially after hearing
the screaming.
The weather is snow, therefore
cold which reflects the mood of
the film, it is not a film that makes
you warm it is a film that makes
you scared and therefore the
weather is negative. It also shows
possibilities of getting trapped
somewhere. Like rain can which is
cold, but sun cannot which shows
warmth.
The music is made by the film
makers rather than a popular
song, this lets them give the
audience the emotion they want
them to feel, in this sense, fear
and anticipation.
5. The sky in the opening scene
is dark reflecting that the film
will be dark and therefore a
horror and scary.
The font type is skinny rather
than bold, the skinny font
type backs up the eerie feel
and projects the mood the
audience is meant to feel.
The font type is also quite
blurry which gives the idea of
ghosts which is
stereotypically associated
with being scared.
6. The font becomes more eye
catching when the title of the
film comes on screen, also
the scenery changes. The
background is of a clouded
area with a barbed wire
which represents danger.
The font color is in blood red
which is a warning color,
which becomes a warning for
the audience to be careful,
which makes them scared
and becomes a successful
horror.
