Locked Up
Oculus Trailer
The theme of the films seems to be a mystery thriller and horror. The main object is the mirror which the whole film is based around. The plot of the film is 2 teenagers looking back through the past for their families sake trying to remember things by finding out the truth about the mirrors power which has caused the deaths of many people. The camera angle reflection view off the mirror for the audience to see in the scenes allows the audience to see her point of view and how scared she is with making the viewer understand if that was them in that situation. The main characters are a girl in her upper teens and a boy of around the same age. The girl is very confident in fulfilling her aim to find out the truth about what happens with this mirror. The boy on the other hand is resistant to be going near this mirror as he is unsure of what could still happen to them.
The background music and sounds that are played create a lot of suspense about what is going to happen. The room that the mirror is kept in is dark and gloomy and is what you associate with ghost settings and haunted rooms so this creates a thought in the viewers head that there is something behind her without her knowing. The quickness of the scenes of the ghost like people creates mystery for both the characters and audience with the costumes being easy to blend in with things in the house so is hard to see.
