Paranormal Activity 2 is a supernatural horror film. That focus’ on ghost and demons that are able to posses’ human beings and move objects and people.It is a feature that is all filmed by CCTV camera’s placed round a house because a family believe that they are being haunted by something. The CCTV captures evidence of the supernatural being effecting objects in their house and possessing a young woman who then hurts the other people in the house.
The target audience of this film would be people who enjoy watching films about ghosts and demons. Also this film is rated a 15 which means that their target audience is also teenagers and above. The trailer also shows us the audience of the prequel so the director would suspect them to return to view this film.I think there are two unique selling points. The first being that the film is based on the supernatural so they have been able to draw in the attention of supernatural believers. The second USP would be the fact they every shot of footage are taken from a CCTV camera which shows the audience the time and date these strange occurrences happen to the family which makes the film more realistic.
There is only diagetic sound in this trailer. The sounds are of the camera’s moving, switching to another camera in a different area of the house. This then makes the audience feel that they are in the scene that they are viewing, therefore creating a more immersive experience of the film.Just like the music in this teaser trailer there isn’t much, if any dialogue. This causes the audience to be immersed to what is happening on screen.
The shots and angles are all very similar as the feature is filmed from the CCTV cameras so they are placed at different angles but cannot be moved to create suspense. This further emphasises the realism of the film.
The pace of this trailer differs in many areas. The inter-titles are slow which could be so that the audience can read what they say which could cause mystery and uneasiness. However, the footage from the CCTV cameras are faced paced and quickly cut together so that the audience wonder what is going to happen after each shot and feel the tension building from each short clip.
There isn’t much special effect’s in this trailer apart from the shot where a man is thrown and one of the CCTV cameras. However, you can see from the trailer and the narrative that more special effects will be used to create more realism if this was to ever happen.
The inter-titles lets the audience know that this film will most likely scare them but they won’t know what it will be. Also the inter-titles have a black background and white font so that the phrases that are used stand out. This makes sure that the reader is able to read it and feel the tension and suspense that should be felt.
