Frames from "The Conjuring"

In this screen shot, you can see that the shelves are stacked with some unknown items and this makes the image look mysterious as the lighting is low and this normally resembles a horror scene which is about to occur. It could also suggest that the main villain in this horror film returns to this room after he has killed someone or attempted to murder them.



In this screen shot, you can see that there is a group of people who have all moved their hands forward into the middle of a table, like they are performing an exorcism to get rid of any possessed children or adults in the area they are situated in. This photo creates an unknown identity as the characters faces are cut out due to the lighting, even though the lighting is low, some of the characters faces are covered with light to make the audience wonder who the character is.

 The editing in this particular picture is effective as the characters faces have been cut out by the titles of the opening sequence. This makes the opening sequence effective as it suggests that the woman (Who hasn't had her face cut out) wanted to be isolated so in order to do so, she might of attacked or become possessed and the family were gradually split apart by either death or possession.


This screen shot is effective as the colours symbolise death and surrender, and the rope hanging from the tree suggests that someone is going to commit suicide or be killed in the film. The house is in the distance which creates a sense of mystery as the house is in the middle of nowhere, hidden behind some large trees.

 This is similar to the screen shot above, accept it doesn't display the title or show the rope hanging from the tree, so it directs your focus specifically on the house. The house looks like one which would be isolated so that you couldn't hear or scream for help, leaving you abandoned in a sense as they can't escape.
