Conventions of horror films - The Devil Inside

-The lettering of the title was black and white, which was simple and plain. It was written in capital letters and spaced out to give it and eerie feel to it.
-No billing which gave the feeling that it was real and they were not actors but real people.
-It had a date at the beginning, which made it feel and like it was an actual event.
-It gave the name of the woman straight away making it feel like a case study because we know who she is and research had been done. 
-The woman's voice on the phone sounded like a man because it was deep giving the impression that a demon has taken over.
-There where different flashes during the footage making it feel like an old projector from the 80s, this made it feel that the police document was real.
-Wobbly filming, which shows that the film is old because it worn, and has been exposed a lot.
-Hand held footage, and was sometimes out of focus making the audience feel that the footage is real, and in with the action.
-A walk through of the costumes that the characters were wearing, showing the audience that they religious.
-The setting was an old, dirty basement which gives the feeling that no one can hear you screaming.
-Lighting was very dull, morbid like you dint know whats hiding in the shadows, they used torches to make light.
-Very violent with blood splatter.
-Blunt in instruments used to show that force was really needed to make an impact.
