Deconstruction- Drawings in possession films

Mama

In the film muma young girls draw all over their bedroom walls with haunting images that no one understands. the way the images are covering the whole wall makes it seem more spooky because it is as though they are real people watching over the lives of the children 

The stickman-style drawing is childlike and this makes a contrast between that and the demon. However, the person is standing in a completely impossible way, as though they are something more than human and so don't have bones or organs. This is disturbing especially because its drawn by a child. 

The ring 

The use of dark, thick pencil is good because it makes the drawing look more manic as though the person drawing them cannot stop their hands from producing the pictures. 

Also, the way the images are scattered around the boy makes it look like he is haunted by the images- a circle, like he cannot escape them. 

Sinister

Compared to drawings in other films, these are very artistic and actually well drawn- especially if you look at the tree. This creates a new dimension because it gives the feeling of total possession, a girl so young wouldn't be able to drawn such good pictures so the talent conveys to the viewer that she is a completely different person and not herself at all.

The use of the light blues and bright colours makes a contrast between cheery happiness and the horrible, angry drawings.
