Genre Research: Insidious




      Insidious, the first of its series, starts off with low angles to show off its characters. It takes place at the residence of our two main characters Josh and Renai Lambert, so the setting is just a normal home. There are scenes where shot/reverse shots are used to show the audience what one of the characters is telling the others about. The movie produces a dark mood, most noticeably with the lighting. Usually, the intense scenes happen in a darker setting. As the movie wants to tell a story about its characters, it has dialogue to give exposition or to build these characters. The movie was good at building tension, as it is easy to do with the horror genre. However, I didn't like how some scenes were flooded with dialogue.
