I have seen the previous 2 films and also liked how they're filmed through the use of handheld cameras as I feel like I can relate to it more personally and almost includes the audience in the events that are happening. By doing this we are able to see what is happening through the characters perspective and understand it as they would.
I did think that it was an affective film and people around me felt on edge throughout, this was created by the use of suspense that continued throughout and finally climaxed at the end of the film. However personally I didn't feel very scared by this production.
There was a large amount of 'jump'ing moments which gave people, and myselff, a short scare. These were in fact quite affective as these points are remembered afterwards and then referred back too after viewing.
The ending of the film wasn't very memorable, I became slightly bored and uninterested towards the end which is a shame. I think it must have just dragged on a little longer than it maybe could have done or lacked in gripping elements. Additionally the overall response from my friends was fairly average, no one seemed to be overly impressed.
Despite this though I do think that the way that all 3 films have been constructed is cool. Each film is a prequel, showing what happened before the previous. Also I'd definitely consider including the camera shots and angles of home footage in my thriller as I feel like this is an affective way of scaring and helping the viewer to understand events that are happening.
