Favourite Image Analysis From The Women In Black (2012)

This is my chosen scene from my horror research, it is from the film the woman in black (2012).

This still shows a number of young children huddled together. This still is taking from the scene at the train station when Mr.Kipp’s son jumps on the train track, and we see the children standing on the other side of the platform. The children have a sense of innocence and vulnerability making the audience sympathise over them. The children appear to have pale skin making them seem lifeless, and making the audience relies that these are the victims who have been killed by the woman in black. The clothes which they are wearing are pale making them look more ghostly.

This shot appears to be an establishing shot making the children all fit in the frame. The lighting in this shot seems to be low key creating shadows of the children, making the audience feel anxious. The light shining on the group of children shows the audience there innocence. The surrounding darkness in the shot resembles the darkness conveyed in the woman in black and her killing the children.
