Script runthrough



analyse 
moves the plot along - the character in the resolution scene dies and prepares for the next film

relationship between characters - between the ghost and people in the next movie but in this scene it shows the relationship between the detective and psychic (haunted house)

macro - the scenes of the detective dying will be shown via the monitor which the detective set up earlier in the scene

believable - he acts believable to the situations they put in front of them

evaluation
to improve this i need to create more of a suspense and a sense of a horror film within and keep the style/genre points to link to my macro, and the build up to the ending of the scene

Location

This is my chosen location for the prequel to Paranormal Activity in the previous films it is always set in a large house this is the reason for me choosing this location. As well as the house having many rooms to chosen from to capture the scene I am creating, it also has a ery look to it which fits in perfectly with my idea.

Prequel to paranormal activity, exploring how the paranormal entity died, this will happen in an isolated location whether there death is an accident that the torture went to far or whether it was arranged by the cult.

draft presentation

the stylistic differences between horrors film genres and the horror sub genre of thriller/horrors.

paranormal actvity a horror which looks at the unseen hauntings of katie and micah. this film fits the horror genre as it includes a supernatural being, and keeps the audience in suspense of what the supernatural being will do next.
micah is seen as the hero as he is the one trying to protecting vunerable katie from this unseen present. by the end of the film though micah becomes the vunerable one as the demon had possessed katie and she is the villian.

scream 4 is a horror/thriller film which creates tension in the audience. the film adapts into a slasher/mystery were the group of main characters are the ones who are trying to work out who ghostface is. with the group trying to work out who the killer is suspense increases with who the next victim will be. with the opening scenes using voyeurism to show the films within the film using girls as the characters being the vunerable ones. at the end of the film we find out the real identity of ghostface (jill) this challenges the idea of the steroetypical women.

the main stylistic difference between the two films are the camera techniques used in paranormal activity it is a home video/documentary feel to the film showing the audience what they are seeing through the camera, where as scream 4 sticks to the following the main charcaters sidney prescott.

i think that both films fit the genres conventions of horror and scream conforms to the horror/thriller sub genre.

the stylistic differences between the films are reinforced by the genre of the two films. Paranormal activity horror genre is reinforced by the shakey home video camera usage following an unseen supernatural being. the stylisitic choices such as the editing and lighting helps to keep the horror genre throughout the film. while scream 4 thriller/horror genre is kept as the know killer ghostface keeps the suspense alive for the audience as they don't no who the Ghostfaces next victim will be the only clues you get throughout are the ghostly phonecalls with the question whats your favourite scary movie? which helps tension to bulid as the audience has no idea who the villian is. the home video from style technique from paranormal activity has now been adapted and used in multiple films since such as 127 days later and colverfield.
