Opening Scene 4 - Insidious

Insidious

I am going to be looking at the opening scene for 'Insidious' and analysing the different conventions of genre.

  • The setting is in a house.
  • Camerawork - the camera pans across the rooms as if it is from someone else's eyes, it is moving slowly to create suspense.
  • Iconography - low key lighting and dark colours to create a mysterious effect.
  • Close up of a creepy face at the end of the scene - will be significant later on in the film.
  • Sounds - non-diegetic sinister music of instruments, to unsettle the audience.
