Graphic Content: A lot of blood and gore in the beginning. Teddy bears/ masks. presidential juries all coming out to kill, all covered in blood. Statue of Liberty mask covered in blood. pig costume in blood. dead bodies all around (people hanging from trees). 1 close up of aggressor.
Sound Techniques: Lighting at each scene changes throughout, someone breathing slowly as a dying action. A dark gory, threatening atmosphere. Screaming, sirens, sound bridges used to pronounce "the annual purge". Rumbling as the action is intense. American national anthem used by bell chimes and a piano.
Editing Techniques: Flashes instead of scene changes within the first 11 seconds, this adds to lighting and sound affects. quick cuts, jump cuts, cross cutting/ flash backs, match on action, eye line match, sound bridge, 180 degree rule, fade in, flash, fade out, slow motion and colour disruption.
Camera Techniques: misty/ sort of blurred, not level. this builds to the warming of an almost painful atmosphere of the room as nothing is really level and the shots are quick.
Locations: House with intruder in it. press conference, store, meeting room, home supportive centre, back alleyway showing the outside atmosphere during the purge. Security surveillance room (Washington D.C Untied States Capital). Washington monuments. Outside stores and outside the house.

Cabin in the woods (2011) Directed by Drew Goddard
The Conjuring 2 (2016) Directed by James Wann
Shots of Victims: Extreme close ups of the little girl screaming which immediately tells the audience that theres danger. Lots of quick shots and closeups of the young girl showing the body language and facial expressions showing that the little girl cannot control her body or her actions.
Shots of the aggressor: Shadow on the wall (long shot) to see the whole body shape showing what kind of antagonist it could be. Low angle shot behind the younger girl of the demon coming closer, towards the girl which used the convention, jump scare from a horror trailer. The low angle could represents power and danger. Graphic content: When the name of the director is shown it swipes over to the next shot while it zooms in. The Conjuring 2" then fades in slowly against a mostly background, then cuts straight to another black screen where text is shown. Sound Techniques: Should overlaps in the first couple of shots. slow music used (drums). Towards the end a piano is playing, then a jump scare is used at the very end where the music gets louder and quicker gaining a faster pace. |

Editing Techniques: Starts with a black screen. A number of quick takes to create tension on whats going on. Slow creeks and quite movements around the house. Fade to black to show graphic content.
Camera techniques: Camera pans behind the younger child, over the shoulder shot and close up shots used to show the reaction shot. Starts with a panning upwards shot of the house (low angle shot shows that the house has power).
Locations: A back garden, autumn leaves blowing, swings. A religious house and there are crosses around. The house is creepy and quiet and old looking as if it hasn't been lived in, in a while.
