The Conjuring
Featured props and points in the clip:
- Old lady in the cupboard
- Dark Room
- Old baggy night gowns
- Looked like a poor persons room
- Worn out curtains
- Painting of a cat
- Candles
- Demon Girl
In 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 which helps keep with the Gothic Horror style theme as this movie is set a lot more towards the present than the other 2 clips I have selected. 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 which gives you an unsettling feeling and you aren't certain of what could happen because of this feeling. and because of the setting and the film itself, you feel scared and this is the aim of "Gothic horror films". The Setting and Lighting where also very clear in creating this atmosphere of "Gothic Horror" as the room was very plain with not much color or pattern and with the camera not showing much light creates a gloomy presence in this scene as you have the feeling something is not quite right.
