Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones (2014)
Seventeen-year-old Jesse has been hearing terrifying sounds coming from his neighbor’s apartment, but when he turns on his camera and sets out to uncover their source, he encounters an ancient evil that won’t rest until it’s claimed his very soul.
Animal Action
Throughout the film, the main character has a dog seen performing such mild action as sitting, being held, and walking. For all of these scenes, trainers used hand signals and verbal commands to cue the mild action, which the trained dog was accustomed to performing. The growling was also a trained behavior.
In the scene where the actor holds dog under his armpits and has him dancing on the table, the trainers showed the actor how to hold the dog safely before filming. The action was achieved in one take.
