-The first film i'm going to study is the first two opening minutes of the women in black which is a 2012 horror-thriller film directed by James Watkins and written by Jane Goldman, and is based on Susan Hill's novel of the same name. It was produced by Hammer Film Productions. The film stars Daniel Radcliffe, Ciaran Hinds, Janet McTeer, Sophie Stuckey and Liz white.
- The first two minutes of the women in black presents itself with tension. From the way the music is portrayed which is slow and makes the audience feel that something is going to happen and lead on to something. As the music repeats itself it seems to get louder and louder and faster and faster which infers that something bad is going to happen which shall make the audience feel tense and question about what is going to happen which makes the audience feel engaged. and ending of the music turns into the 'mum' shouting and saying 'my babys' which links well with the music.
-By starting of with three children makes more of an impact to what the narrative of the film is going to be as it shall make the audience assume and know that the horror is going to be based on children and that they have a big role within the film.
-The way the children are dressed shows that its not based from this generation which shows good use of mis-en-scene. As the opening two minutes comes to an end there is a doll included in the clip which creates tension and causes more of an effect as the doll looks scary and its more of a horror cliche.
