Considering I have previously looked at this film to head me int he right direction, its only natural that i use it again to better my understanding of the task ahead, also my film we have unanimously decided its going to be in black and white will also give me more of a feel to what my film may look like. The non-diagetic sound, much like The shinning, also already sets the scene of a horror movie, its not subtle nor does it use juxtaposition, which i may consider in my own piece. The use of shadows creates a spooky feeling and un eases the audience because shadows naturally scare us as humans because you can't fully see the figure and reminds us of child hood fears. We also might want to use bad weather, to create  pathetic fallacy so the audience also knows the tone of the film. Unlike The Shinning in the first minute we already know by the shots that someone has died, and we are starting to piece together what may happen in the film, its been set up completely different, which is helpful to me because now i can decide which i think is better. The baby crying is also a good touch, because the audience knows somethings wrong because the baby is un-easy, and sometimes we belive babys to have other senses.
