This film was where our own film idea stemmed from, and the scene where they first use the board is what inspired our opening scene, using similar shots as well as the general plot.

Unlike the two examples, where we analysised the whole film, from this one we only found inspiration from a few scenes. The Conjuring 2 is based around the use of a Ouija board that shows the after effects of what can happen. Our film will not feature the appearance of paranormal investigators like this one, so the film will not pan out like The Conjuring, although the idea of malicious spirits will be a main feature.
