Analysis of Paranormal Activity Trailer


The film 'Paranormal Activity 3' is a horror/thriller film and it is part of two other films which are 'Paranormal Activity' and 'Paranormal Activity 2'.

The poster of 'Paranormal Activity 3' is simple and there is not a lot going on. This is because the poster contains the films name, the website of the film, the release date, the slogan 'discover how the activity began'. The poster only contains one picture which is of a child's room and two children are sleeping, in the background there is a shadow of the ghost that has been haunting the family since the first film. This picture gives an insight of what part three of the film is going to be about. On the picture there is also the time and date of when the picture was taken, this shows the ghost only haunts them in the night, therefore the film takes place in the night.

As it is a horror/thriller poster there is not much color, and there are no bright colors in the poster as well. The main colors in the poster are black, white and red. The black could symbolise the night, this is because everything that happens to the family happens in the night because the ghost haunts the family in the night. The red could symbolise the blood and danger that is going to happen to the family. The white could symbolise the ghost that is haunting the family. All the colors that are used on the poster show and mean something, there is a deeper meaning behind them.

The target audience of the film Paranormal activity is also fifteen and above. This is because it contains scenes that are scary and may scare anyone under this age.
