The woman in black is a well-known horror movie which also has a very gothic theme to it. The plot is about a mysterious woman who haunts people in a small town in England, she caused the death of many young children as she lost her young son so she kills little children just by looking at them or being in little children’s presence. The woman in black was originally a book however because of its fame they made it into a movie in 2012. The women in black was distributed by Momentum pictures and its budget was $15 million this shows that a lot of effort was put into making the film by Hammer productions. This image shows props used in the opening sequence. The camera is really zoomed in because the audiences eyes have to be focused on what the girls are doing. The cups have purple birds on them which emphasises the innocence of the girls. As the colour purple connotes power and luxury. Over this image we can also hear dark mysterious sounds and this could cause tension towards the audience and making the audience feel uncomfrtoble This is a close up of a doll drinking, this could have an unsettling feeling for the audience as the doll has dark black eyes and a creepy smile which could give the thought of that the children may have a dark side to them. We then see this doll using a medium close up and the doll is more realistic to a human than the other dolls and this could be unsettling as most people are scared of pot dolls. This is a long shot of the three girls playing with their dolls pretending to have a tea party. We can also see that the setting is in an attic as there are packed boxes but it is also a play area for the girls. The setting could be in an attic because people are normally scared of attics as it is normally dark and dirty This shot is the three girls staring at the women in black. The audience don't know what the three girls are seeing and therefor this makes the audience conscience and scared of what they may be looking at. it is shown how the women in black is subjecting the girls and that the women in black is in power and in control of them. This is an edit of the girls in mid turn of their head looking at the window straight away the audience know that the women in black is telling them to do something. the camera is at an 180 degrees rule, to show the three girls and their surrounding. The image shows the girls getting up from the tea party as thats what the some in black wants. This can cause effect towards the audience and making them think about maybe something is making them do something dangerous. The first picture on the right side shows that the girl just dropped the tea mud, this shows that the girls don't care about the tea part anymore and they have become angry towards something. and then a jump cut is shown of her stepping on the tea mug as shown on the middle image. the last image on the right side shows one of the girls stepping on the doll, which shows that the doll has no value anymore and their innocence has been taken away. The image shows a medium long shot while standing by the window, this suggests that the girls are going to jump out the window this could make the audience feel stressed because the girls are still young. the picture on the right side shows a medium close up of the girl opening the window. As they all get on the last step suspense and tension is caused as the audience know what is going to happen whig could be nerve wrecking for the audience. the girls then jump out the window. After the girls jump there is no sound for one second. We can then hear a diegetic sound of the mother screaming "my babies" while also crying this suggests to the audience that the girls have died. A cut zoom is used when the camera goes back which could suggest that the person who made the girls jump out the window is at the back of the attic. A figure of a human dressed in all black is shown, this gives the audience a clue of ho made the girls jump out the window. the camera then fades to grey then black to tell the audience thats how the scene ended.
