Research - Genre analysis 1 - Paranormal Activity 3 analysis

The paranormal Activity series of films are well known for their gripping story lines. This is because they scare people to death. The key character types in Paranormal Activity are families that have suspicion that their house or someone is haunted. The key character types in this Paranormal Activity trailer are the typical family that think one of their daughters is possessed. This then leads them to get cameras and film everything they see themselves. This is a typical psychological horror way of filming. It gives the viewer a sense of how this could be them and scares them even more. The genre typography is very iconic I this trailer because of the typography. The typography is very typical of its genre. There is a black background with white faded writing.

My Genre


The genre I have decided to choose as my film opening is a psychological horror. This is because of a few reasons. One of those reasons is because how much I like psychological horrors. Horror is my favourite genre as I love the gripping story lines and being scared stupid. As well as the story lines, there are also some logistical reasons as to why I have chosen a psychological horror. Psychological horror does not need any real big special effects or edits that need to be done. As we don’t have a massive budget we won’t be able to use big and fancy effects.
