We wanted to add a camcorder effect to our film so its a film within a film. The sub-genre, supernatural usually is associated with it being a camcorder effect such as paranormal activity and the Blair witch project, as it adds realism to it and makes it more scarier as our audience feedback has said.
The camcorder effect is seen in the beginning being handheld when the two characters are seen entering the building to meet their tour guide. It is also seen in the scene when it is left on, where Habiba is practicing to get dragged for the film they are about to shoot. It is left on throughout the same scene when Naimah and Fatemah are seen practicing their lines and then also when Naimah is seen running into the room after seeing Fatemah get strangled by Mallory. Later on during the end it is also on when Mallory and Naimah are seen face to face.
This challenges the convention of normal horror films where a normal camera is used throughout.
