Insidious: The Last Key
Insidious: The Last Key
With Halloween coming up, Insidious: The Last Key, the fourth of the insidious movies, is the perfect film. Each Insidious has something to do with each other. They are played off each other, using the same characters. In the trailer they use clips from the earlier movies to kind of show how they’re connected. All of the movies within the series deals with dark spirits and/or demons. Starts off as a typical white family who just moved in a not so normal house. This is a type of movie where in order for someone to understand it they would have to watch the previous ones. The trailer for the upcoming mysterious thriller film Insidious: The Last Key is successful in getting the viewer's attention by the way it uses color to show the differences between what's going on in the scene itself and certain clips from the previous movies in the series to emphasize the importance of these scenes.
At the beginning of the trailer it’s easy to tell it’s a horror film. The colors the directors chose gives it all away. Like when someone paints it’s easy to tell how they were feeling by the color they choose. The opening scene is filled with basic colors that are associated with death like black and blue. The

There has to be a reason why the director put those specific scenes from a old movie into a new movie trailer. In figure two the picture shows probably one of the most significant scene from that insidious movie. This scene was kind of the turning point for the movie. It shows how vulnerable the little boy is compared to the demon trying to get him. Going back to the color the directors and producers chose it’s still that dark blue color. At 50 seconds it seems like it’s apart of the movie coming out but there's this red door that was very significant. The red door was only seen in dreams. It was some sort of portal to the other

    To start off, the most obvious aspect of the horror genre that is in this film is vampires as they are a supernatural creature. The Vampires in the film are what you would expect; blood-sucking beasts with their sharp teeth, which sleep upside down, cast no reflection and who are afraid of sunlight. But that’s not all of it.…

    It’s not a perfect film, but the opening certainly is. The film from minute one seems less concerned with actually being scary in the sense that it’s trailers reveal, but more scary in the sense that it wants people to consider how terribly materialistic they are around this time of year. It’s the type of film that will let little things like a christmas tree catching on fire seem to hit so hard, but then turn around and leave you asking “Why…

    When Edward is coming home and sees the van driving crazy, he thinks of Kevin, who is walking home from a friends’ house. Walking home seems trustworthy enough. The menacing, non-diegetic music in the back foreshadows the abnormal events that are about to happen. When the audience sees the van speeding up and heading towards Kevin, they realize he is in danger, which is foreshadowed by the ominous music. Burton paints suspense in his films and keeps the audience of the edge of their seats, wondering what will happen, and keeping the dramatic events going by using sound and…

    People look to comedy movies to laugh just as they look to scary movies to be frightened. Producers and directors of these films include key elements to fulfill the audience’s wants. In scary movies producers use elements such as: colors, foreshadowing, symbolism, camera angles, sounds, etc. to heighten the suspense and scare factor of the film. In Robert Zemeckis’s films he uses these techniques to scare the audience and build up the suspense. Zemeckis specifically uses foreshadowing and camera angles, in What Lies Beneath, to generate suspense and prove that everything is not always as it seems.…

    The main difference, I think I should state before I truly begin between the poster and trailer of Alice in Wonderland (2010) is that one is static and one isn’t. You may think I am as mad as a hatter but I believe it is important to point out just how different they are. Over the course of the next 1000 words, I shall aim to help clarify the difference between the two, mainly in terms of USPs, codes and conventions and mise en scene.…

    When looking at the movie cover of Halloween, you first feel terror. The fire, masked figure, and apparent suffering in the still images make you naturally feel uneasy. You are then drawn to the caption, Evil Has a Destiny. If you weren’t feeling uneasy already, this caption should do it. It brings up questions and makes you want to know the answer. This visual is effective in instilling a feeling of mystery, it does this through not showing the face of the figure, scrambling scenes from the movie, and giving a vague setting.…

    At the very beginning of the film you only see a black screen but in the background you hear the sound of the sea, which immediately links to what the film could be about, but then as soon as you seethe actual sea, you go straight underwater with something swimming through seaweed which makes the audience curious and nervous to see what is lurking in the water and the penetrating music in the background.

    Tim Burton is a unique American filmmaker that grew up watching horror movies and even lived near a cemetery. He was surely a self-admitted oddball. However, Tim Burton’s style always seems to appear in any movie he directs. A few of his movies are Edward Scissorhands, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, and Corpse Bride. These movies all represent his interests, inspirations, and his life experiences. Tim Burton uses specific cinematic techniques to create an Imaginative world in his movies. Some of the techniques he uses to be different with a touch of darkness to create his style are flashbacks, gothic theme, and Irony.…

Insidious had to be one of the scariest movies I’ve ever saw.…

    Each movie has a theme or a genre we could place them in, Notorious is a spy thriller similar to a James Bond film, and Vertigo is a mystery thriller with a twist like The Sixth Sense. In Vertigo you don’t see what’s coming in the end, you are taken by surprise and the same can be said for Notorious. There isn’t much dialogue in either film; instead the music and camera angles guide the movies to create the plot. Vertigo is shot in color and not just plain colors, the colors are enhanced to be bold, and to stand out so that you notice them and the people surrounded by them. Alfred Hitchcock uses color to make a point, to show fear, tension, anxiety and love. In this movie the color of Madeline’s green dress in the restaurant scene stands out against the red of the walls. It is what I noticed first. In Notorious he uses black and white; the shadows create a sinister effect surrounding the theme of the movie, which is communism, good guy/bad guy.…
