Paranormal Activity Trailer

The best thing about this trailer is that the couple cnat see the monster or whatever it as but the audience knwo it is there as they can see thme sleaping, this is good becuase it preys on the audiences mind and sets their imagination off. The use of a home video is interesting and unique, this makes it it more relaistic for the audience as it could be anyone filmimg it. Seeing the aufiences reaction is a good amrketing tool because its gives the audience evidence that it will be scarey.
The use of lighting is quite basic but affective at the start of the trialer it is like soemone is walkiing around with a light. Then after the night scene , there are a few brif shots of disturbing scenes that s filmed using a Bluey grey light/filter that gives it a supernatural look. there are also a lot of flashign scenes that creates a distorted look and a lot of quite cuts which builds the suspence. There are a lot of close ups in the clip most notably of the girls face when she is on the bed this shows her horror. Close ups are uite a good tool to use as it shows the characters emotion this would be a good technique to use to show how scared the characters are.
