2. Here she is on the left.
Which shows that she is
in control.
The girl is very excited
and happy which makes
the audience happy.
Here she is on the right.
She is now less powerful.
It shows the audience a
sudden contrast. This
sudden contrast makes
the audience feel sorry
for her.

3. This used the editing
technique of Match on
Action.
The atmosphere is very
relaxed, happy, light-
hearted and peaceful.
There were an number of things used
throughout the movie such as
exaggerated off screen sounds of flies.
Dramatic music was also used a few
times, to build tension.
There was also the exaggerated off
screen sound of banging. This made the
audience nervous.
The opening music used was very eerie.

4. The colour red is incredibly
important in this movie. Red
is the colour that attracts
“those we don’t speak of”.
Red symbolises danger and
blood.
This makes the audience feel
uneasy and nervous.

5. The editing technique used here was Shot/reverse shot. This was used to show the
reaction and emotion of the character.
Low key lighting is also used which gives it an eerie atmosphere.

6. This scene makes the audience feel on edge as Lucius has just seen something, which the
audience assumes is one of “those we don’t speak of”. Also the use of colour here is
important because there are red berries and red symbolises blood and danger and Lucius
might have just seen one of “those we don’t speak of” so he could be in danger. The use
of the colour yellow could symbolise fear. This makes the audience worried for Lucius
safety.

7. This uses the thriller convention of psychotic individuals. Noah just stabbed
Lucius multiple times. This makes the audience feel heart broken because
Lucius might die right after him and Ivy had just announced that they’re
going to get married.

8. This used the camera technique of a roll. This gives the audience an idea of how
isolated she is in the woods and that someone else is there. This makes the audience
anxious and because Ivy is blind it makes the audience feel as though they should help
but they can’t do anything.

9. This is a plot twist because her dad told her that the monsters are actually the village elders
dressed up to scare the villagers so there shouldn’t be a monster out this far in the woods.
Her father did say that there were myths about monsters in the woods. So this makes the
audience feel shocked that the monsters are real.

10. This makes the audience feel excited because she has found the fallen tree that she
found when she got out of the hole she fell down.

11. This can make the audience feel confused if they don’t realize that she just found the
same fallen tree. If people have realized what she’s doing this makes them feel excited
and tense. Her yellow cloak has got mud all over it which could symbolise that she is
covering up her fears. The pose she is in suggest power and strength.

12. This is a plot twist because it turns out the monster was actually Noah.
It makes the audience feel sad that Noah died.
The close up of his face shows that he is in pain and makes the audience feel empathy

13. The wooden rocking chair appeared a few times throughout the movie. This could be a Red
herring because it wasn’t really that important.

14. This could be a Red herring. Ivy’s last name is Walker and on the hat and the vehicle it says
Walker.
In this movie it used the thriller convention of making society seem corrupt. The village
elders told stories about how if you went to the town money made you corrupt and got
people killed.
