Paranormal acitivty 3
The setting in this trailer is conservative to the horror genre its set in a house located in a rural suburban area. The whole trailer gives off an eerie feel to the scenes in the daylight and has the effect of making you skin crawl. It then starts to fuzz, crackle and fade in with flashbacks (flashforwards) and inter titles. This gives the trailer a good pace to lead it up to the fright points. I really think the video interruption gives the effect that there is something “messing” this is common in the horror setting for you to question the obvious and look for a paranormal explanation, whereas in a normal setting you’d question what’s wrong with the equipment as it’s clearly what the problem is.
Iconography for this trailer would be the two girls of which one clearly has something possessing her/influencing her when she doesn’t want to interact with the guy holding the camera this links to Barthes theory of binary oppositions in the horror genre. Little girls are conceived to be innocent, playful and jolly all of which are challenged by this girl.
Other things I enjoyed about this trailer was the way it cut to people screaming and giving you reason to jump this really sticks to the horror genre of giving a quick unexpected burst of fear.
