Genre Research 5: The Conjuring


The title of this movie is the conjuring. This was a very popular horror film. Here were a few common camera and angles in this film. First the high angle is used to show someone over someone else to show that there is a different level of authority between the characters. Next they give the Over the shoulder shot to make you feel like you are in the characters shoes and never know what will happen next.Lastly, closeups might be the most commonly used angle because it helps show the emotion all over the characters face. Costumes in the film are usually dreary and blood all over peoples bodies.Dark lighting is used to to show that is a very scary film. In this film actors really have to sell themselves to the audience by being anxious. The makeup goes back to the blood and scary things to frighten the audience. Many props are used common things are weapons in this film. The setting of this film is a small farmhouse located in Rhode Island.Non diegetic sounds are often used more to help emphasize what is really going on the screen and to give the audience a juxtaposition. There is plenty of editing in this film the most common are jump cuts and flashbacks to create suspense. The most common elements in this movie are suspense and mystery. I liked the movie overall and how the story was portrayed.I disliked how it was dragging a long most of the time.
