Paranormal Activity
We were asked to analyse Paranormal Activity for a number of aspects.
How the characters were established:
The characters were established throught the dialogue and conversation. The setting also has an effect on the establishing. We can see that they are a couple and they live together. We also find out about the Psycic through conversation and we find out more about the woman's childhood through the conversation with him.
Consider how setting is used:
It makes it clear to us they are a couple. A modern normal house so it doesn't appear as a house that would be haunted by usual standards. The use of mirrors, stares, shadows, knives and dark corners are all the key signifiers and add to the feeling of enigma.
