time. We have already seen the house but this scene makes sure we know that the

the main character and they can feel the sense of power as they do. This will
mean they will worry about the safety of this character. This shot is showing
the audience the age of the building and the history in one shot. The interior
in dusty and the furniture etc. Is antique old and untouched. This all gives of
an enigmatic feeling because the building has therefore had plenty of time to

or lived in for a while and the audience will then wonder why it hasn’t been
lived in and what has kept people from buying this beautiful building.

giving an illusion of motion, consisting of a slitted drum that, when whirled, shows a
succession of images placed opposite the slits within the drum as one moving image. These
originated in 1865-70 and where popular at this time in history. So this small prop shows the
age of the building. The next two scenes which are the close up’s show that the main

help about the house. The alcohol prop shows that the female character is worried for the
main character because conventionally if someone is in worry they will receive alcohol
from their host out of concern. Also the proxemics of the characters shows that the
female character is worried and cares for the male character therefore the audience
should be worried for the main character as the female character is scared.

This Close up shows the main character is thinking hard about something maybe
whether he should stay at the house. But more importantly there is a woman dressed in

her face which makes her enigmatic. In the scene she turns around in a creepy manner.
The audience know that the film is called ‘The Woman In Black’ this will play upon the
characteristics of this enigmatic character. The audience will worry about the woman in

watching the trailer out of ponder.

expressions these combined can be effective because it gives the audience an insight into
what the character is feeling. You can see from the characters face that he is scared and

as well. The candle reassures the fact that it is a dark chiaroscuro setting and the axe shows
that he is ready and armed and will strike if need be.

The text gives the audience something to think about and search for if they have
enjoyed the trailer, they background is once again misty or foggy and it keeps to the
mood and genre. I have noticed that all the text is in white and it always works
because they backgrounds and transitions are all dark colours and it contrasts well
chiaroscuro lighting works well in the horror genre.
