In certain scenes you can see the intensity of the changing
of lighting to dull, to then extremely dark, to create
maximum effect throughout the scenes for the audience.
Paranormal activity is a reliable source to do with a horror
film as the shadows they keep showing are symbols of
horror and create more of a sense of darkness and
scariness through all scenes.
In one of the scenes in paranormal activity, a woman is wearing a white
top, and even though white stereotypically connote purity, the way she
is standing conveys a threatening manner and promotes the image of
horror even more.
In another one of the scenes in this film, it
shows in a scene a time of 12.04am, and at
this time a woman is hovering over a man
while he is asleep, this coveys an
uncomfortable and a sinister atmosphere
which is good for the audience as it
creates much effect.
