5. • Using the research of the stock narratives and
themes and by the films that we watched we
decided to use the idea our main characters
(Josh and Emily) just moved into a new house

characters were filming themselves moving
into the new house so for some bits in the film
we decided to have it in first person view and
that sometimes you only see the little girl by
the camera.

happen.
• An example of this would be in a films such as
Halloween, and the Scream films where you would
hear a high or spooky noise, this is noise is know as a

how the audience expects the overall presentation to
be given. So overall we decided that at times where
you see the possessed child that a sting would play
giving the audience a hint of what is going to happen in
the next scene.
