Paranormal Activity

We were asked to analyse Paranormal Activity for a number of aspects.

How the characters were established:
The characters were established throught the dialogue and conversation. The setting also has an effect on the establishing. We can see that they are a couple and they live together. We also find out about the Psycic through conversation and we find out more about the woman's childhood through the conversation with him.

Consider how setting is used:

How the story is established:
