PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 4...

On friday night I went and scared myself silly by watching Paranormal Activity 4. Aside from the well known fact, that it isn't an incredible film, some of the camera shots used were good. The handheld shot was prominent throughout the film as the main character, Alex was documenting her whereabouts.  It's a good way of showing the emotions of the character as well as making the audience feel as if something is behind the character in view, or allowing someone to suddenly to appear behind her in the camera, as Paranormal Activity 4 continually does so. Overall, I thought it was really effective and should definitely be used in our film introductions as it places the audience right into the action of the film.
