The Stangers Trailer

This film is a good one to analyse becuase it would be quite an easy film to shoot, the film jsut uses an isoloated house and a couple who are being haunted by three masked people . This techique is efective as the couple dont know when the masked people are goin gto appear and they keep appearing in the house and dispappering this makes the audience think that evry tim one of them goes round a corner or looks over there shoulder there is going to be something there and can cause them to jump. This is a similar affect to what we want to achieve but I think it woul;d be scarier if the character cant see the being, so using shadows, shapes and footprint, doors slamming etc you can make it seem like the being is invisible.

The lighting is clever because it is coming from the hosue and it gives the picture a warm supernatural glow that reflects the mood of the couple who are trying to survive. The use of camera angles is espeically affective because there are a number of times when ywthe audiecne can see the beings and the characters cant a lot of wide shots and over the shoudl shots . This is a useful tool if the monster is actually there but if we want to create and affect where it is invisible then close ups are more useful but also over the shoudler shots becuase that still gives the affect that there is something there even though there isn't.
