I thought filming was going to be easy and go smoothly with no issue. Little did I know I would be very wrong. When we started our first scene, I was only helping the camera person get the right angles. We got one of our close friend that was in the higher level class to help us since she had no work to do. Once the first scene was completed, it was time for me to act in the second scene. The first several takes went horrible, because I couldn’t keep a straight face while filming. I would burst out laughing almost every take, but I knew I had to get serious. We ran into a big problem while recording. There was another group that planned to film in the exact spot that we planned on filming in. Both of our groups talked about it and the other great let us do a majority of our recording first.

I just watched The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It as a part of my genre research. After researching the codes and conventions for the horror genre, I couldn't help but spot a lot of them in the movie. Once camera shot I saw a lot was a point-of-view shot. For example, when Arne Johnson was looking around in his house for a ghost, the camera viewed the house from his perspective. This made the audience feel the fear and anxiety Arne felt when searching his home. Another common camera movement was a tracking shot. The movie used it a lot for jump scares and revealing demons in the shadows. For instance, Arne finishes searching his and doesn't fin anything, thinking that everything is normal. The camera moves in the same direction as he and reveals a demon in front of him.
