The image above shows some very popular possesion / paranormal films being veiwed in 2013/ 2014. We had a look into these films viewing each of there trailers and picking up and there strong points and the bits which really made the trailer scary and effective and those parts are which gave us some inspiration for different aspects of our horror. For example we based our soundtrack on 'Sinister' and used small sections off the non digetic sound in our teaser trailer which added that scary tone. We also based some of our shots and different camera angles on the ones seen in 'Mama' and 'Sinister' as they worked well with our storyline and theme. CO
