Deconstruction of Location - Mehrabi Ward

Deconstruction of Location:

The images below are from the films, 'The Woman in Black', 'Sinister' and 'Paranormal Activity 3'. All of these films are horror films, and their sub-genre as well are all supernatural horror's.

The Woman in Black:

This location used in this film is slightly different to the locations used in the other films I have also talked about below. This is because:

• This house is much larger
• Its more old fashioned
• More abandoned looking
• Parts of the film is also filmed in the forest and graveyard around the house.

Sinister:

The two locations used in 'Sinister' and 'Paranormal Activity 3', are more similar to each other because:

• The houses look more recently built
• They look more modern
• They look like they belong to a normal working class family, where as the location for 'The Woman in Black', is more mansion looking, and looks as though whoever lived there was quite wealthy. 

Paranormal Activity 3:

As I found that the location for 'Sinister' and 'Paranormal Activity 3' are fairly similar

 

The location used for 'Paranormal Activity 3', is more of a normal looking house, from looking at the house there is nothing that suggests danger other than from looking in the windows from the outside it looks very dark and again darkness is the connotation to danger and unhappiness. But other than that the property does look perfectly normal, however this does then make the film a lot more frightening for the viewer, as the house looks so normal it gives the impression that whatever happens in this film could easily happen to anybody, which gives more of an 'after scare', which is very effective.

The thing that I have noticed most about the locations used for a supernatural horror is that they are all filmed in a house or also for the film the woman in black, some of it is also outside
