Analysis of The Conjuring clip

 The Conjuring clip:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOgC_YUyTYs

What I saw:

• Old wooden cupboard
• Dark room
• Old baggy night gowns
• Bookshelf
• Looked like a poor persons room
• Tatty curtains
• Painting of a cat
• Candles
• The demon girl

Within this clip I noticed that a lot of Micro-elements were used to portray a typical "Gothic horror" feel towards the film. For example the demon, in the clip we see her with wet and messy looking hair, a grey face with dark colored teeth, and a tatty, ripped and dirty night gown. this shows a typical "Gothic horror" feel towards it because it uses a demon from the past, as the horror object of the film. her costume and make up also portrays it because she is dirty and just overall messy, and she wears a nightgown, these are very old and not really used anymore but in the olden days this was very commonly used by women and girls.

Also Props are used in this clip, because we see a lot of old and dusty props like, old books, a big wooden cupboard, candles and paintings. these show "Gothic horror" because it creates a uncomfortable atmosphere, you as the viewer feel on edge as you are not really used to seeing these objects and because of the setting and the film itself, you feel scared and this is the aim of "Gothic horror films"

Sound is also effective with in the clip because there is a lot of silent moments where the setting is also dark and it creates a atmosphere where the audience expects something to happen, then suddenly you hear a bang from the cupboard which is really loud and it makes the audience both shocked and scared because its unexpected and spooky. Then when she leans back from the cupboard you hear a loud screen and the camera zooms in on the girls face and its really loud and really effective at making the audience jump.
