42. Narrative – Paranormal Activity Film Trailer Type of Narrative: Diegetic Dialogue Non-linear No voice over No narrative captions Sequence of film snippets Narrative “Paranormal Activity” is about a couple who set up a video camera in their room to try and capture the strange goings-on they’ve noticed during the night. Obviously things continue to go bump in the night, and we get to see it “found-footage” style. The latest trailer isn’t as effective as the teaser that was first released, which made very good use of the audience reaction shots to hype it up as terrifying.”
