Your evaluation needs to include the following: Your preliminary exercise video embedded from YouTube. Clear reference to the preliminary exercise brief, your planning process, how your script/storyboard/shot list helped create the final product and what you would do differently next time in terms of pre-production. Detailed analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of your film. This is a good opportunity to demonstrate your close-textual analysis skills - breaking down the clip shot-by-shot to discuss the impact on the audience. Confident use of media language, particularly film language, showing clear understanding of the key concepts of Media Studies (MIGRAIN)
The brief for the preliminary exercise was to film and edit a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. This task should demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule.
The planning process for this was first to construct a storyboard, script and shot list which was all made towards the end product. As a group (Sophie, Daniel and I) we were able to split these tasks between each other therefore leading me to be in charge of the narrative and script, Sophie being in charge of the shotlist and storyboard and Daniel focusing on editing when the production of the video was finished. This allowed us to be focused on particular things full heartedly instead of having the strain on one particular person and also made sure that we were all part of the production. After the script and shotlist were produced, we notified each-other so that each could have a general idea of how the task would be produced which lead to no confusion on Friday meaning that we would all be able to go ahead and film. This was a beneficial planning process as this made us have a very clear understanding of the production of the video. There were multiple strengths and weaknesses in this video, a few strengths was that there was a good narrative, camera movement, sound effects and music made the video interesting and held suspense throughout the video. Also, the things like good match on action, dialogue, lighting and action shots contributed to the strengths of the video as this made our video have a clear understanding of what is happening. This made our video look realistic and gave the video interest. However, there were a few weaknesses like the focus of the camera at the point of my face and also where the wallet is picked up. The focus here was on the radiator which could make it seem like there was a storyline based around it. Also, we could have filmed a bit more to give the video a more of a continuous film to make it seem more realistic and give it a sense of edge. In addition to this, the push into the room unintentionally gave the video humour which automatically made the audience not take the video that serious and therefore not reaching the aim of the video. These things however is something that will be focused on in the real production so that these mistakes are not made which would therefore give the video more professionalism.
Your learner response task is as follows: 1) Read your feedback carefully and look at the mark and grade you achieved. 2) Read this mark scheme, grade boundaries and suggested content document. How many marks were you away from the next grade up? How much of the suggested content did you include in your answers? 3) Create a blogpost called 'Film Language test learner response' 4) Type up your feedback word-for-word (you don't have to put the mark and grade if you don't want to). 5) Re-write your weakest question on your blog. This re-write should be aiming for 12/12 marks using all the suggested content in the mark scheme. Re-watch the clip above and make dedicated reference to specific aspects of the sequence.
From the next grade up I was: 3 marks away.
WWW - This starts brilliantly and is solid throughout. We now need to develop the consistency and technique to match the top level response to Q1 throughout the exam.
EBI - Basic one: ALWAYS clearly label each question in an exam.
- Each of the depth to later answers, hence stuck at level 2 (6/12). Also a little
repetitive in terms of mystery.
-Need to incorporate media theory to reach the higher levels and also this exam needed more discussion of genre.
-Written English becomes weaker towards the end so consistency and stamina is something to work on.
LR - Editing question.
How is editing used to create drama and tension in the opening scene? (12 marks)
Editing is used to create drama and tension in the opening scene through the first use of continuity editing where the matches are lit and Keiton lights his cigarette using them. This evokes a feeling of curiosity in the audience as the first scene is a close-up of matches catching fire but there is uncertainty of what this is leading to or who lit the matches. Continuity editing is then used where it shows the fuel leaking and makes the audience link the matches and the fuel leaking which then leads to the conclusion that the matches are going to be used to ignite the fuel. This leads to their being drama and tension as the audience's suspicions of this are waiting to proven. The straight cuts used when the fire ignites the fuel and the trail of flame is leading up to the tank, creates tension and drama as this prolongs the consequence of the fuel spreading but this is interrupted by transition into a jump cut of the liquid falling on the fuel. The slow pace of the camera moving towards where it came from also creates tension and drama as the audience is waiting to see what is was and when the person is revealed and there is a straight cut back to Keiton's reaction, there is a sense of tension as this illustrates that Keiton and the person know each other and makes the audience wonder who he is and what his purpose is. The straight cuts into close ups of the person walking towards Keiton also creates drama and tension as the audience can not see the person's face and makes them suspicious of who it is. The editing used when the person lights the lighter and slowly raises it towards his face creates drama and tension as the audience relate this back to the event of Keiton using the matches to light the fuel and think that the person is going to do the same. The straight cuts used where they are conversing also builds tension as it is not clear what the conversation is leading to or whether the person will help Keiton or not. From the straight cuts being used it can show that the conversation that they are having is very serious and as the cuts are straight, so are the characters actions and therefore creates drama as the audience know that something is going to happen but do not know what. The continuity editing used where the gun in the persons hand is shown and then Keiton is shown creates tension as the audience automatically think that the person is going to shoot Keiton and as the gun rises and the gun shot is heard, shock and drama is created as the person does shoot Keiton. Editing is also used to create drama and tension in the opening scene as the straight cuts in the montage of several sceneries shown clarifies to the viewer where this event has happened but also creates tension and drama as this is not allowing the audience to see what the effects were of the gun going off. The slow pace of the cut into the person dropping the cigarette onto the fuel builds tension and the transition when zooming into the rope symbolises the ending of someone's life and creates drama as the fire spreading is not being shown. The use of continuity editing after this of the fire progressing along the trail of fuel, the person fleeing the scene and then the fire crossing over dead bodies creates drama as it all relates to the idea of what is going to happen next, an explosion, and builds tension as the audience are waiting for this lead up to conclude. The transition from hearing the explosion and the rope lighting up and then seeing the actual explosion happen creates drama as the explosion is not shown straight away but is shown shortly after which makes the audience tense as they know who is inside of the building that has just exploded - Keiton.

This coming of age drama is set in South Central Los Angles and explores the effects that the undeveloped black community has on three young African-American friends since childhood and the journey they go through growing up where seeing at dead body in the street is a normality. There is then a focus on their current experiences. Tre has a satisfactory upbringing with both parents where his knowledgeable father disciplines him on the morals and concepts of life whereas half-brothers Doughboy and Ricky are children of a single mother and suffer inadequacies through their advancing years, however, they adapt completely contrasting lifestyles. On judgement of their names, it is prominent what traits each develop; Doughboy incorporates a lifestyle of violence, gangs and alcohol whereas Ricky undergoes a lifestyle of pursing his dreams of being an American footballer and receiving an education although being a young Dad. Tre and Ricky both apply for college and take the first step by sitting the SATs which dictates their future. Both men put dedication into this as they have different goals. Tre's motivation is his desire for an education and the influential feminine raft of his girlfriend Brandi who contributes to his wisdom on belief and patience and Ricky's provocation is his childhood dream of being an American Footballer and getting that all important scholarship. They both retain different personalities, to their advantage, from their friends in their community but as part of living in the area that they do, they encounter numerous battles with society's implements on women, gang members, police and violence. As easy as the process may be of waiting for college SATs results, South Central Los Angles chain them into events that makes it formidable for the young pair who face overwhelming complications in this period of time.
Intro: It is a normal day in England, Subs is listening to music and has thoughts about minding her own business. She walks home everyday from dance class at 12:30pm and takes the shortcut to reach her destination. Every time she walks home she comes across a group of boys that stand in the same place and watch her but she thinks nothing of it.
Subs is walking home.
Subs: (Thoughts) People that spend time looking for faults in others should spend time correcting their own. My life. My choice. My Mistakes. My lessons. Not your business. Let people do what they need to do to make them happy. Mind your own business and do what you need to make you happy.
Subs walks past the boys and finds the wallet on the floor.
Subs: (Turning to the group of boys and holding up the wallet) Any of you lots?
The boys shake their head.
Subs shrugs her shoulders, walks around the corner and opens the wallet. Subs: (looking through wallet) Hmm, Mr James Matthews (Picks out money and puts it in pocket) I'll have that. Someones feet are shown walking behind Subs and a bag is put over her head. She tries to fight the person but they strongly hold her. Subs: (Fighting and screaming) Let go of me. HELP! HELP ME! Person is walking Subs into a building and towards a room.The person sits Subs down and exits the room. Another person (Carys) removes the bag from Subs's head and puts her hand on Subs's shoulder. Subs: (Disorientated and goes to attack the person) What did you... Carys?
Carys: Subs? Subs: What are you doing here? What's going on? Why am i here? Why are you here? Why...
Carys: (Interrupting Subs) Woah Woah slow down. I'll explain everything to you. Carys takes a seat. Carys: We've been taken by a group of guys. They've been watching people like us, girls, and waiting to take us. Subs: Why do they need us? Carys: They want us to be a part of something. Something dark. I hate to tell you this but we belong to them now. We have to make them money by scamming boys. Pretending we're in love with them, use them for their money and then leave them. Subs: What? Who are "them"? Carys: Haven't you seen them? Those boys. Everyday they stand by the shops looking at girls and seeing if they have potential. They trap people like us by throwing a wallet on the floor and anyone that picks it up and takes the money, they take them to be a part of the clan. Subs: These people are corrupted, who would do something like this? (Panicking) oooo i knew i should have just put the wallet down, my mum taught me better than this, why did i have to be so stupid and pick it up, i knew i shouldn't have... Carys: Calm down, he will let you go once you make him enough money. Subs: Who? Carys: Maurice. Subs notices someone standing by the door.
Subs : (Whispering) Who's that? The person opens the door and walks towards the girls. Their identity is hidden and only the back of them is being seen. The girls faces are frightful. The person takes off their hood and their identity is revealed. It is Maurice. Maurice: Now you both listen to me and do as i say. I need you girls to do a job for me. The girls are left in fear.
This short film starts with a girl (Subs) walking down the road on her way home listening to music. She walks past a group of boys that she see's often at the same time in the same spot on her way home everyday. One day in particular, a wallet falls near the group of boys and she picks it up. She questions the boys asking them if it belongs to one of them but they all shake their heads. She continues walking and once round the corner she opens the wallet and finds money inside of it and also identity of the person it belongs to. Instead of returning the money to the owner of the wallet she takes the money and throws back down the wallet. Little does she know that through these actions she's letting herself into something more severe. Oblivious to her surroundings, a person comes up behind her and puts a bag over her head dragging her inside a building. She is forcefully put to sit in a chair and someone removes the bag over her head. She is first disorientated but after she comes to her senses she feels a hand on her shoulder. Thinking it is the kidnapper, she goes to attack the person behind her but realises that it is a girl that she knows Carys. She asks Carys what is happening and Carys explains to her that she has fallen into a trap with top gangster Maurice and his gang who abduct girls when he sees potential of bad traits in them for a set up clan that intimidates boys through romance and takes their money. Instead of returning the wallet to the owner she explains that everyone that takes the money in the wallet and discards of the wallet gets taken to be apart of the clan as this is something reckless. When they get deeper into discussion it is revealed that the boys that stand in the same spot everyday were actually monitoring every move that Subs, Carys and alot more people make and anyone that they see has a bit of edge to them, they set the trap for them in order to take them. After their discussion is finished, Subs realises that there is someone at the door. The person opens the door and stands infront of the girls. He then reveals his identity -Maurice- and tells the girls that he has a job for them. The girls are left in fear.
Cinematography 1) Find the opening sequence to a film of your choice on YouTube
2) Embed the video in a blogpost and write an analysis of the cinematography.
3) Highlight your use of Media language and try to cover camera shots, angles and movement using the terminology we have learned in lessons.
Film Opening: (0:00 - 2:13)
(0:00 - 0:25) The opening of this film in Cinderella is a tilt and is an establishing shot. From the camera tilting down, this gives a slow and detailed visual aspect that the viewer can distinguish on what is going on in the atmosphere e.g the weather and scenery which can verify the mood of the scene at that particular time. Also, from the camera doing this it gives an intentional introduction to the scene and the film which makes the viewer at ease based on the beautiful scenery they are seeing and the family-orientation. (0:26 - 0:38) There is a close shot when the object is being given to the father and when the mother and father are both being affectionate to the child. This is significant as this could show a close-knit and strong bond that the family have and also focuses on the characters faces so that they are memorable. There is also a tracking shot on the baby which presents continuity and shows that she is significant and when the final tilt of the camera is towards the sky this could show that a different scenery/part of the film is going to be show. This therefore is used as a distraction leading towards a progression. (0:39 - 0:43) There is a tilt down which introduces a new scene and a crane shot is presented which makes the viewer view the land from a high perspective which shows the objects and more of the landscape around it. (0:44 - 1:09) There is a close-up on the females faces and tracking shot when the girl is walking. This may be used as a way to focus on facial expressions and show continuous movement. There is also a tilt when she picks up the mice which mirrors her actions and movement as she is doing so. After this there is a close up on the characters when they are talking and also on the mice so that the viewer feels involved in whats going on in that scene. (1:10 - 1:28) A tracking shot is used when the father is riding the horses and is also used when the child is running towards him which can again show importance but also relate to the movement of the characters. (1:29 - 1:52) The camera tilts down to the object that the father gives to the child which gives a focus on it and is also presented through it being a close up. Also, when the father and child are conversing, an over the shoulder shot is used to make the viewer feel a part of the conversation and distinguishes which character is talking. (1:52 - 2:13) Firstly, a close up is presented to show the joy on the child's face and then a medium shot is used to capture the father and mother being affectionate and child and father dancing. Whilst the child and father are dancing, panning is used to show more of the scenery and what they are dancing towards.
My contrapuntal & Parallel video. Guess which is which..
LR- ( Wasn't in for the lesson where everyone got feedback)
Comparison to other classmate's video.
Ratna
Ratna's video was very interesting and contained good and suitable videos/images for the contrapuntal and parallel sound. There were multiple videos/images which highlighted what the aim to the audience was and to help us to get a clearer understanding. Compared to my video, Ratna's is more simple and more clear to understand as mines has alot of videos and different sound clips which may have made it confusing. I therefore think as an improvement i could have made my video more simple so that there isn't too much going on and too much to focus on. Ellis Ellis's video had alot of images that were relevant to the music and ones that weren't relevant to the music. This explored the purpose of the video and i think that compared to mines, his video had alot more ease to it and ran smoothly. Although, i think that mines could have been a bit more interesting as mines had videos so stimulated the minds of students more. However, from his video i could improve my video by maybe including some images to show that i have a clear understanding of images aswell as just videos. Sophie Sophie's video showed contrapuntal and parallel sound in an interesting way. The song choice suited the video's that were shown and it was clear what the message of the video and song choice was. In comparison to my video, Sophie's video explored beauty whereas mines explored various things like horror, romance etc. Also, the clips that Sophie used was very similar whereas mines were different. I could have improved my video by maybe allocating music with lyrics so that there could be a bit more of an understanding. In my opinion, I think that Ratna's video was the best video as the soundtrack, videos and images really reflected the purpose of the task clearly. Also, the video is simple which makes the audience understand better and see the difference in contrapuntal and parallel.
Watch and listen carefully to the following opening of Funny Games (2001) directed by Michael Haneke.
What is the director saying about the family from the choice of music played?
How would you describe this use of music?
How do you think the narrative might develop?
1-The director saying from the choice of music played that they are very intellectual. Most likely to be rich. They are also very calm and collective. They seem to also be traditional and educated.
2- The use of the music was calm and parallel. As this is classical music, it could represent that they are quite old-fashioned.
3- The narrative may develop into their calmness and close knit bond being disrupted. By the change of music becoming contrapuntal, it shows that their may be events happening that goes again their norms and values.
Watch and listen carefully to the following extract from ClockworkOrange (1971), directed by Stanley Kubrick.
Discuss the choice of music. Is it the kind of music you would expect for this scene?
Why do you think the director used this piece to go with the action on the screen?
1- The choice of music is very classical and calm, there is a sense of piece and intellectualism is presents. This is not the kind of music expected for this scene as there is quite a lot of violence and havoc.
2- The director may have used this piece of music to go with the action on the screen to show psychotic behaviour as the music is contrapuntal which could show that the main character has a mental illness as the music is supposed to be for a calm setting but instead is for a chaotic one.
Watch and listen carefully to the following extract from Once Upon A Time In TheWest (1968), directed by Sergio Leone.
What sounds do you hear? How do they help to build up tension?
Can you identify the sound bridge? What is the effect on the audience?
1- There are various sounds, there are sounds like creaking, windmills turning, the wind, a tape recorder rolling and other various things. This builds up causes tension as it is mostly quiet and all these sounds cause mystery and curiosity.
2- The sound bridge is when the tape recorder is rolling and we are not yet able to see it and the other sound bridge is when the train is approaching and you can hear the steam of the train. This has an effect on the audience as it makes the audience wander and become confused on what the sound could be.
Watch and listen carefully to the following extract from Once Upon A Time In America (1984), directed by Sergio Leone.
Discuss what sound is diegetic and what is non-diegetic.
How does the director use the sound of the phone to link the narrative?
1- The sounds that are diegetic are - The clinking of the bowel, The champain popping
The sounds that are non-diegetic are - The music playing, The phone ringing, The fire department siren, The loud noise at the end.
2- The director uses the phone to link to the narrative as the phone represents the amount of people calling because of an accident going on and also the phone shows that there are people oblivious to what is happening as the sound of the phone keeps on playing throughout when there is a party going on.
Task 2:
Find a film clip on YouTube that uses sound in an interesting way. Analyse the use of sound, making sure you use the key language we have learned about sound in film:
Diegetic and non-diegetic sound
Parallel and contrapuntal sound
Sound bridges
Remember to discuss/analyse all the different types of sound present in the clip:
Music
Dialogue
Voiceover
Sound effects
You also need to highlight or put in bold any use of media language.
Clip:
This film clip uses sound in an interesting way as it isn't normal sound you would hear from a scene like this. Diegetic and Non- Diegetic. The non - diegetic sounds in this video is the loudness of the music and the sound effects of the main guy shuffling when he dances. The sound is amplified. Also, the sound effect of the sawing of the man's ear is non - diegetic. Whereas, the dialogue is diegetic and also the sound effects of the movements of the characters. Parallel and contrapuntal sound. In this video, the main focus is the use of contrapuntal sound. The song that is presented is very laid back and happy which does not reflect what is going on in the video which is violence. Also, the lyrics of the song present an irony as the lyrics are: Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair, And I'm wondering how I'll get down those stairs
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.
And this reflects what is going on in the video although the aim of the song is about something else. This therefore highlights the abnormality of music choice and shows that it does not fit what is going on in the clip.

Mise-en-scene blog task Complete the two tasks for mise-en-scene in the Film Language booklet: 1) Find a distinctive still image and write an analysis of the mise-en-scene. Use each of the aspects you've learned in the lesson. 2) Find three film extracts on YouTube from films of different genres (e.g. horror, sci-fi, costume drama). Embed them in your blogpost and write a comparison of the mise-en-scene in each.
Mise-en-scene analysis.
Costume The costumes of the actors in this image are very colourful. The actor on the left is wearing a purple blazer with a white opened shirt and the actor on the right is wearing a red top. By the individuals in this picture wearing these items of clothes, it shows that they are different and stand out. It also shows that they may portray a sense of craziness as do not conform to the normal presentation of adults. They more resemble children which can show that their actions and personality is very in your face, carefree and brisk.
Lighting
The lighting casted around these actors are more around their outfits and around their faces instead of being on the actual face. The lighting is also black and white on the actors but their outfits, props and makeup are in bright colours. This could show that they present their personalities through the outfits that they wear and makes it predictable what they are going to be like. Also, the actors face on the left has more dark shadows and is more dark than the character on the right which can show that he has more of a dark personality and background.
Actor
The actors have completely different facial expressions. The actor on the right has a very humorous face which can show that she doesn't takes things seriously. Also, it can portray that she masks her emotions with being sarcastic and jokey but her eyes look very melancholy which could highlight that her actions are over the top to put on a front. This contrasts with the actor on the left as his face is very serious and daunting. His face is also unpredictable, it is unclear whether or not he is angry, bored, contemplating or concerned. Although, from all these expressions it is very clear that he is evil yet content and devious yet playful. This could show that he has split personalities and his actions are unpredictable. Also as he is facing forward and the female actor is facing to the side it symbolises that he is the one in control of their relationship and he takes things more hands on.
Make-up
There is alot of makeup on the actors that is colourful and messy. This resembles the type of thing that a child would do and therefore symbolises that the actors are very child-like and playful. Although, on the actor on the left he has a tattoo that states "damaged" across his forehead. This highlights that he is mentally unstable and also he has plenty of scars on his face which could illustrate that he gets in alot of fights and may be a bit of a trouble maker.
Props
The actor on the right has a bat that has the words "Good Night" written down it. This shows that she has a sense of humour and has a ludicrous personality as the bat is being used to cause damage and danger. She also has a gun that she is holding carelessly which suggests that her actions are carefree and she doesn't think about the effects of her actions.
Setting
The background is very dark which shows that the actors have a dark background and can show the audience that they present intimidation and can show that they are unsettlingly and sinister.
film extracts
This drama is based on a true story and has a very natural feel through the way it is portrayed in the film trailer. This is because the costumes of the people are very natural and represent something that people would normally wear on holiday so the audience can relate more to what is going on in the film. What the main actor's/actress wears in the trailer does change when the tragedy happens ad their clothes become more ragged and damaged. The lighting in this trailer is very light and realistic. This is because the family are on holiday so therefore there will be alot of sunlight which makes the scene bright. Although, this does change when the tsunami happens as the lighting starts to get a bit more dark in some scenes like when they are in the hospital. This could symbolise that something bad is happening/happened and sets the mood and atmosphere. The actors are in different positions in the trailer. At the start, the mother is relaxing reading the book, the young boys are with the father in the pool and the older boy has gone to get the ball when the tsunami happens. As the older boy is on his own this could symbolise strength and that he is confrontational. The make-up in this trailer is very natural at the start but after the disaster the make-up used then becomes bloody and dirty. There are scars, cuts, blood and dirt on the people in the film. This shows the outcome of what has happened and the damage that it has caused to everyone. There are alot of props in this trailer which all represent a deeper meaning and helps the viewer to see and understand what is happening more clearer in the trailer. A few of these crops is a book, ball, pictures, trees, debris and etc. The setting of this film is very calm in the start of the trailer and is in a beautiful, exotic place but after the tsunami happens the setting become more disruptive as there is alot of damage that has been done to nature. There is alot of broken down trees, cars and alot of people severely injured.
This sci-fi is based on a son setting out to save his father after their aircraft crashes on earth. Contrasting to "The Impossible" trailer, the costumes in this trailer are very scientific and futuristic which could show that this is not a realistic film and represents the amount of action that will be happening. The lighting in this film is very bright and vibrant to show that this is another kind of world/ atmosphere than what is meant to be earth and brings attention to the details that have been crafted in this film. The actor's in this trailer have a very strong stance, look strong minded and show willingness. This was annotated through the son going out and fighting all of these different species of animals and also both of the actors being strong through the crash and the after effect of the crash. The make-up in this trailer is natural which makes them look serious but also, the actors do have a few blotches of blood on their faces from the result of the incident which gives the film a little bit more of realism instead of being too unrealistic. The props used in this trailer are very futuristic as these types of props are most likely in process of development in real life but are being used in this film already which highlights that this film is based in the future and brings attention to the type of film that it is and the type of things we could expect to see through the use of the type of props. The setting in this trailer is very advanced in terms of how earth is now and is set in space first and then on earth. The setting in this trailer shows the audience that this film is not something that would happen in real life and is a difference to the film trailer "The Impossible" as this is a very realistic setting and film although, there are similarities as this film also has a disaster that causes the main characters to split up which causes alot of drama.
This horror film is about a haunted son who goes into a different type of world as he is abducted by evil spirits and his father has to get him back. The costumes in this film are natural but quite old fashioned compared to the film "After Earth". This builds suspense as this makes the mood of the film quite airy. The costume on the spirits are very dark and worn out which highlights to the audience that there is a dark atmosphere and setting which makes it very insidious. The lighting in this film is very dark compared to the other two film trailers as this film is a horror and therefore the atmosphere has to be set and as the lighting is dark, it highlights the morbid and abnormal activities that are happening. The actors move quite cautiously throughout the film trailer which shows that they are on edge and that something is wrong. Their faces also portray fear and terror through the numerous facial expressions shown in the trailer which again suggests that there is something uneasy happening in the film. The make-up in this film is also very natural like the other two film which shows that this could happen in real life and therefore creates fear in the audience. Although, the make-up is different for the evil spirits as there make-up is very scary in the trailer and quite dark which presents them as more intimidating and fearful. The props in this film are normal day-to-day things that are seen in real life although, there are abnormal props in the trailer which is orientated around demonic things which makes the reader feel tense. The setting in the trailer is in a old fashioned house which is different from the other two trailers as they are more outside throughout the film. This therefore could mean that the problem is within the house and shows the viewer that the house and people in the house are the main focus of the film.
