The Woman in Black Opening Scene Analysis

The Woman In black represents your typical horror film. Staring Daniel Radcliffe, this spooky horror film is all about a young doctor who visits a haunted house which is in the middle of no where. From the opening couple of minutes that i have watched you can tell straight away from the music in the background that starts as soon as the scene starts that it is a creepy spooky thriller. The old fashioned music that seems to be music from around the 40's is really effective because it is a high pitch sound which scares the audience. The props that are used within this scene are very effective as they are very spooky very very scary with old dolls and rocking horses they are used as they are the general stereotypes that you will find in a haunted house. in this scene we watch three young girls jump out of the window and kill themselves. This is very effective with the audience as from straight from the start it gets the audience asking questions for example why did they do this and what made them do this? The ending part of this scene is left with the high pitch scream of the mother who obviously has found her three daughters dead on the floor it is a very disturbing noise but as we are asking these questions it makes us want to watch more of the film hopefully so that we can find he answer to these questions.
