What lies beneath
The first film we watched was 'What lies beneath'. In the introduction and title sequence it suggests the death of a character within the film by water related causes. The next part only sets the scene and story. The film is set in America near waterside. The lighting suggests no threat due to bright daylight scenes.
The Haunting
This film was old and in black and white but despite this it still sets the film well with the use of other aspects. They use a voice over to explain the history of the house and throughout the opening use good camera shots and all are continuous. We don't see the victim or threat so gives us a mysterious feeling towards the house.
Poltergeist
The lighting shows potential danger because of similarity too police sirens which suggests danger. Also the sounds such as when the girl is walking down the stairs sounds like a heartbeat. When the girl speaks to the TV and then touches it, it gives us a sense of a connection between the two. It also suggest the TV will have something to do with the girl later on in the film.
The Grudge
The titles were both red and black which suggests blood and the hair of the Grudge. On the sentences at the beginning it picked out a word that was violent and highlighted it in red. The camera shots were good as they were short and snappy. The lighting and music played a big part in tension and helped build up the face of the grudge. This film was also mysterious and didn't give us much detail in story and who the old woman was.
