This is a long-
take shot with

lighting and the
transition effect
of the fade
This shot has been done
as the first scene in the
trailer to help set the
scene and disorientate
the viewer which is typi-
cal of a horror genre
because horror likes to
disorientate the viewer
in an opening scene to
make the viewer feel on
edge

This is a mid shot
to close up with
the camera at a
fixed frame
Here the non dieget-
ic instrumental sound
changes because it
introduces a chil-
dren's music box
This is a cut tran-
sition long shot
This scene helps create a childhood
scene due to the props used or the
doll and the teacup showing the
children’s imaginary play of a tea
party. This scene of children playing
is also set by introducing the chil-
dren's music box into the music
helping create the scene of children
playing together having a tea party.
It also shows that the children are
from quite a wealthy family because
they have lots of toys and furniture
that shows that during the time
period they must have been
wealthy.

to set the scene of the

the music used being cli-
matic. It also helps set
the scene of the time
period due to the sur-
roundings

ror genre because it of-
ten likes to disorientate
the viewer and create a
spooky eerie sense of
mystery

This is a low angle
shot of the girls
with a fixed
frame
Non-diegetic instrumental
music giving a daunting feel
of something about to hap-
pen due to the build up of
sounds created of the chil-
dren’s music box as well as
the strings and the funeral
bells all finally coming to-
gether to create the scene
for a dramatic event to take
place
This is a short
scene and uses
the transition of a
cut
This has been done to give
the impression of something
moving to catch their atten-
tion or possession, making
the viewer confused and
disorientated which is typi-
cal of the horror genre be-
cause it creates mystery and
potential danger to the
viewer . The church funeral
bells in the music during
this scene also connotes to
death and danger

Non-diegetic in-
strumental sound
of music in the
background
This is a longshot
with the transi-
tion of a cut sce-
ne
This is done to give the
viewer the effect of moving
towards the window and has
connotations to danger,
making the viewer guess
what might happen next and
obstructing the viewers
sight to the surroundings. It
is typical of a horror genre
because it creates mystery
and connotes with danger
and the foreshadowing of
negative events yet to come

This is a close up
fixed frame of a
girl moving up-
wards (standing)
Non-diegetic in-
strumental sound
of music in the
background
This is a short
scene with the
transition of a cut
This has been done to create the
feeling that something is wrong and
that the atmosphere has changed
because the children are acting
differently and the teacup is
dropped as if the child has lost
interest showing distraction and
confusing the viewer into thinking
something has possessed them or
that they are in the presence of an
evil spirit or being. The lighting also
helps set the scene because it goes
from being a high key to low key
shadowing, foreshadowing negative
atmosphere and a change in events

Close up shot
with fixed frame
camera
Non-diegetic in-
strumental sound
alongside the
sound of smash-
ing china under
the girls shoes
This is a short
scene with a cut
transition
This has been used to create a
scary feeling to the viewer as the
smashing of the china shows the
girls no longer care for their toys
unlike before when they were
playing, suggesting they are pos-
sessed or a force has a very strong
presence within them, this sudden
change in tone and atmosphere
among the girls confuses the view-
er and scares the viewer as to
what could happen next which is
typical of the horror movie genre
because it often likes to disorien-
tate the viewer and make the
scenes and events unpredictable

This is a Mid shot
of the girls walk-
ing towards the
camera with the
camera dollying
backwards as they
walk towards it
During this scene the
sound of the music box
fades into the back-
ground and the church
funeral bells are more
dominantly heard and
ring for a prolonged
amount of time in the
non diegetic instru-
mental soundtrack
This scene is a
long scene to em-
phasise the at-
mosphere and the
tone of the scene,
it uses a cut tran-
sition
The music in this scene focusing on
the church bells emphasises some-
thing sinister is about to happen and
that the children are no longer
playing, the fact the church bells
were introduced when the ‘woman’
appeared at the door shows that the
presence of her is completely domi-
nant now and the use of the dollying
forwards from the girls shows that
they seen to be possessed as they
are not smiling or talking or happy
playing anymore like they were
before. This is typical of the horror
genre because it often likes to hint
towards paranormal occurrences
taking place

Alongside the non– die-
getic music in the back-
ground we hear the die-
getic sound of all three
of the window latches
being simultaneously
opened by each girl stood
at a window
This is a long shot to em-
phasise to the viewer
what the children are
doing and give the viewer
time to think about what
might happen next in
relation to the scene and
the occurrence
This is typical of a horror
genre because it insinu-
ates to the viewer what
disturbing event is about
to take place next with-
out the viewer fully
knowing, making the sce-
ne tense and unnerving

This is a longshot
with a fixed
frame camera of
the girls stood at
the open window
At this scene the
church bells stop, the
music box and all oth-
er sounds included in
the non-diegetic in-
strumental soundtrack
stop, leaving only the
sound of air coming in
through the window or
an eerie tune
This is a relatively
short scene in order
to show how quickly
the girls jump and
show the viewer
that they haven't
really thought about
it and it is too late
for them. It uses a
cut transition
This has been done to create a
sickening feeling to the viewer and
to shock the viewer because the
girls have just prepared to jump
from an open window and quickly
end their lives which is a dramatic
and irrational change to their
behaviour at the beginning of the
opening scene whereby the girls
were all playing nicely and happily.
The music emphasises the drama
of the scene because it stops and
shows that this is the end and
allows for the viewer to feel like
that is the end and it is too late
now

In this scene the non
diegetic instrumental
soundtrack begins
and reaches a quick
climax as they drop
out of the window
This is a short scene
to show how quickly
the children’s lives
end and emphasise
the horror to the
viewer of how quick
a bad scenario can
escalate
The opening does this to
emphasise how quickly the
children fall and die due to
the scene being quick and
short and the music rapidly
reaching a climax before
stopping completely again,
it is typical of a horror gen-
re because it shocks and
makes the viewer feel un-

This scene is a
longshot with the
camera dollying
backwards
In this scene the in-
strumental sound
stops and the dieget-
ic sound of a woman
from outside the
window screaming is
heard
This scene is a long scene
that uses the transition
at the end of a cut, it is a
long scene to allow the
viewer to review what
has just happened and
the implications of what
has happened and try to
relate it to themselves
This scene is typical of the
horror genre because it has
a woman screaming which is
often used to make the
viewer feel uncomfortable
or alerted and it shows the
action of suicide of the
three girls showing ideas of
possession, death and pain,
shocking the viewer and
making them feel uneasy
