Trivia: Strangely enough, despite being the fourth film, "Paranormal Activity 4" is actually the first proper sequel in the series. Both the second and third films were prequels to the original.
Paranormal Activity 4 (2012)
2 trivia entries
Directed by: Ariel Schulman, Henry Joost
Starring: Kathryn Newton, Matt Shively, Katie Featherston, Aiden Lovekamp, Alexondra Lee
Genres: Horror
Continuity mistake: When Alex and her boyfriend are going up to the play gym, her hair style changes. It's crimped as they are walking up, then changes to straight when they are taking Hunter home.
Question: This is more of an observation than it is a question; however feel free to chime in with an answer. I realize that this is a "hidden footage" movie and each scene has to depict that. But Alex's actions at the end of the film seem to go against human logic. She finds her boyfriend dead in her closet, she knows her dad is across the street and that something is terribly wrong. Why would she take the time to find the video recorder, turn it on and take it with her to find her dad. Someone who just found a dead body in her closet would simply run out of the house or call the police; WITHOUT taking the time to worry about the camera.

Answer: Maybe seeing the dead body in the closet prompted her to grab her camera in case she needed evidence to show the police who had killed her boyfriend and possibly her father. There is enough time between shots that it is possible she calls the police from her cell while grabbing the camera.
