Analysis of horror films - Paranormal activity 2




In Paranormal activity 2 a family move into a house in California, there house is then broken into however nothing seems to be stolen. So cameras are set up around the house to try and find out whats going on. Although, the soon discover that the situation is more sinister than first thought as supernatural events begin to occur.

This film is a very low budget horror film and everything is edited together just to make it scarier. Also a lot of this film is in silence as it builds the tension among the audience as they never know when to expect anything, this is a low budget but clever convention. The setting of this film is in the same place throughout and is just in a regular house. This kind of horror film would be good for our final project as it is low budget, a lot of the camera work is simple and is of low quality, and the setting is somewhere easy to use. Also, throughout this film a lot of the scary moments are just doors slamming etc. This would be easy to achieve as there was no expensive special effects used.
