The conjuring
Characters
Stereotypical female character –
innocent and vulnerable and becomes
the person to be possessed by the devil
Stereotypical youngest child – This child
is usually the child to be able to see
another ghost around their age
...
Also used as a person to
create tension and give a scare factor
because she can see a dead person
...
As well as
this, this character usually doesn’t
believe that there is paranormal things
happening and tries to come up with
other explanations
...
This adds to the scare of the film
because the audience can relate to this
family
...
This would be a typical character
because it is used to allow the audience
to know there is an evil presence
...
Staying over at a hotel proves not to help
the family, as the mother is possessed
anyway and drives back to the house
...
An exorcism is performed at the end of
the film, also they are not stereotypically
performed by a priest as they don’t have
time to get one
...
It also
questions whether it will work and if the
mother will be saved or not
...
This is
iconic to the genre because this would be
the typical place in which the family
begin to witness paranormal
sightings/activity
...
This tree is seen to have
a woman hanging
...
Also, the
youngest child is seen to be sat at the
tree with the music box which allows her
to see the ghost of a child
...
This is seen when we first
encounter the basement room, the lights
in there don’t work and we are unable to
see clearly
...
The disfigured face is also the
iconography of the horror genre
...
We as the
audience are aware of why he is doing
this but the family aren’t aware
...
Ed and Lorraine Warren – These
characters are used as ‘exposition’
characters
...
The police officer – as well as the father,
he also acts as the ‘non-believer’
...
He is thrown by Carolyn when she is in a
possessed state and he begins to believe
in it all when things start to happen
...
It also adds to the
scare factor and seriousness
...
evil’ comes into this film when
we see Carolyn, the mother, fighting
against the demon possession
...
This adds
to the scare factor because she no longer
looks innocent or like the typical female
