The film starts with the 'executive producer' of the fake film on screen, Doing this would be a good idea because it makes the film seem like a documentary which makes it feel more real. He's surrounded by recording equipment backing up what he is saying and making him seem like a real producer.
The camera work is amateur and it isn't held in a steady way. The camera zooms in suddenly and shakes around adding to the feel of it being realistic and a documentary. Real camera, real person behind the camera, lack of camera skills- all create the feeling that the actors and the events are all very real which makes it more scary.
Typical grave yard scene- shows the difference between the dead, the alive and the ghosts who won't leave the planet. Grave yards are a part of everyday life that people may have to come into contact with so using them can be more frightening. The ghost like figure shows the supernatural feel straight away. Also, the darkness of the night can be unsettling.
Night vision effect on the camera- adds to realism. Gives everything a dark green looking colour that makes things look more grimy and disgusting. The fact that it is in night vision means the characters are in complete darkness and that makes the viewer feel more afraid for them. Abandoned looking building- left to be haunted and inhabited by anything- adds mystery and suspense. Use of a girl is also scary because females are seen as more vulnerable and less strong.
