For instance, the panes were scarlet, a deep blood colour. The "bloody" red room thus becomes a place of ending not only due to the westward location, but also because of its color. Poe describes the last, black room as the dreadful endpoint, the room the guests fear just as they fear death. The room is feared by the guests because it reminds them of death, which is why no one enters the room. The room is involved in all of the main scenes throughout the course ofthe story.

Insidious easily fits the film conventions of the horror genre and themes. Insidious incorporates classic horror elements like haunted houses, ghosts, children being possessed, and outside experts of the spiritual world. A family with three children start to witness things out of the ordinary and are unable to understand what they are seeing. The mother, for instance, knew she was seeing strange deities, but her husband refused to believe it and thought she was just out of it. The classic element of denying there is anything out of the ordinary going on is a classic horror element. Typically the people who deny the reality that there might be something supernatural happening, are the first people to be killed or affected in some manner.

The movie begins with a shot of a cemetery of unmarked crosses. From the beginning, the audience is clued in that this isn’t going to be a simple film. Herzog does an outstanding job dragging out the transitions between scenes, whether it be the sun setting on a highway, or fields of corn shaking gently in the breeze, to create a bleak ambiance that carries out throughout the film. It gives time for the audience to analyze the new information they’ve been given to add onto their own judgements.

The first shot is highly dramatic in its lighting method, and the audience is drawn in immediately to one single detail. A man begins revealing the details of a tragic incident that befell his daughter. We don’t see who he is talking to. There is a spotlight directly above the man, and this is pretty much

When Making a film a director wants to draw the audiences emotions to the film to make them interested in what is going to happen.
