Conventions of a Supernatural Horror Film - Insidious/Annabelle

 Typical Settings?
Image result for insidious

Supernatural horrors tend to be mainly set in a big house in America, just like Insidious as it is set in a friendly type of neighbourhood. This set location makes it seem as if nothing will happen due to the busy type of location where there are neighbours to help. These type of horror genre films make it seem as if its actually real life because of its normal and casual environment (neighbourhood).

 Normal Characters Involved?

Just like Insidious, the typical characters included in this type of genre is either a couple, or a 'perfect' family which then involves younger innocent children. Other characters that are involved at demons which are the ones who take other certain peoples bodies during the film. This genre also normally includes priests or a religious person who attempts to settle the demon of its haunting and tries to remove its demon spirits from within the house hold.


 Typical Plots?

The deaths are normally the link to the supernatural demon creature that is featured within the films. After deaths occurs, the last few characters are normally involved in a religious use to get rid of the demonic creature found within the household. Either a priest or a very religious person normally will use the typical crucifix as well as a mythical saying to try & kill the demon & release it from the childs soul/body.

Practise Filming

For the short film, I didn't want to just jump into the filming process without having some sort of practise and to work around with the location (lighting & props) - This allowed me to gain some clips that I can potentially use within the film as well as having some scenes where I can replicate again in the real filming. By incorporating a practise run of filming for the short film, after collecting all clips and looking back, there are scenes that don't particularly fit together that need clips to lead into it.  This has then allowed me to plan out what shots and different camera angles I can use within clips as preparation for the real short film filming. This prep I feel helps analyse where certain faults can occur within the real filming can be prevented before filming.
