Paranormal Activity stars a man and women named Micah and Katie a young couple moved into a new house together but something starts happening at night in there new house. The film has many scenes that were filmed at night while they were both asleep and the spirit started terrorising ten by throwing things pulling covers off and banging doors. One scene a light turns on and off in the opposite room and the're bedroom door slam shut,loud banging is heard and apparently something is trying to get in. Also to spook out the audience the glass over there picture gets smashed and Micah's image gets scratched.This show us that the spirit that is haunting Katie has an obsession with Katie. Later on in the filmed we find out that the spirit has been with her since a vey young age.
This film gave us a lot if ideas so we decided to use a couple of things to keep our audience wanting more.
The other film we researched was an American haunting,this film also gave us a lot if ideas the difference with both of the films, is one is modern and the other one is based in the 19th century. An American Haunting is about an family but the young girl is getting haunted by herself at a younger age. This film starts off with a witch cursing Betsy father. There is many paranormal scenes that occur in this film one main part is when the family sees Betsy suspended above the floor with unseen hands and they watch what seems to be hands slapping her across the face.
The two films are paranormal horror but are two different story lines,the common thing that we noticed is that the paranormal behaviour begins at night first while everyone is sleeping and eventually it starts happening during the day. This gave us ideas on how we should film our opening sequence and what time would be best for us to do our filming and how we can target our audience. We also decided to throw props around without anyone actually touching them so it looks like a spirit.
